    Note: To select multiple adjacent conditions, hold down the Shift key while clicking.

  2. Click one of the two following buttons:

    ( )

    Adds parentheses to the outside of the selected conditions.

    Example:

    condition_1

    AND condition_2

    becomes

    (condition_1

    AND condition_2)

    Remove( )

    Deletes parentheses from the outside of the selected conditions.

    Example:

    (condition_1

    OR condition_2

    OR condition_3)

    becomes

    condition_1

    OR condition_2

    OR condition_3

    The edited expression is displayed in the fields on the Resulting Notation and Infix Notation group boxes in the expression editor.
