A qualifier establishes a conditional test resulting in a true or false condition. Qualifiers can be used with qualified rates, normalizers, and modifiers in the definition of conditional rates. The following panel set is used to define qualifiers.

The Qualifiers Entry panel is used to define the range of a qualifier.

You arrived at this panel by pressing F2 (Qualifier) on the Qualified Rates entry panel shown in Qualified Rates Entry Panel.

Note: The first time this panel appears, you are in insert mode; no lines appear under the Cmd column, the scroll bar does not show a row count, and the only active panel function keys are F2, F5, and F11. When you press F5 (Save), a message appears telling you the insert is successful. At this point, you are in update mode. The panel scroll bar provides a row count, the Cmd column is active (lines appear under the column) and all panel function keys are active. Pressing F5 (Save) displays a message stating that the update was successful.

Next is a description of the Qualifier Entry panel.
