Listing the Actions in the “Then” Section Individually
If a rule has several actions listed in the Then section, the rows with the same action can be combined or kept separate. For example, if you entered several rows selecting the Include action, these selections can be combined in one row under one Include action. The previous example shows the load file for the case when the rows are combined. To keep each action in a separate row, as it was entered, describe each row in the load file as follows (you can add a similar section for each additional row, as needed). Note that ACTION, CHOICE_A, and CHOICE_B must be replaced by the actual action name and choice names.
