Sibling Selection

This scenario arises when a standard selection rule contains more than one criteria list with the same, non-resolution resolution table.  Each criteria list in turn contains a criterion with a matching resolution table.

Here the potential confusion revolves around the manner in which RPI executes the standard selection rule.

In this example customers who qualify via both criteria lists are counted.  However, this means that the rule may count a number of customers who bought products with class ‘H’, which were of a color other than black (and vice versa):

Compare this scenario to the count of the following rule, in which the criteria have been combined in a single criteria list, such that only those customers who bought black products with class ‘H’ are counted:

Now, it may legitimately be the case that you wish to communicate with the audience identified by the former standard selection rule.  The display of the warning icon draws your attention to the potential confusion and you may choose to ignore or suppress as required.
