Add exceptions to a rule

Define the conditions that should be exempt from the rules. An exception is part of a rule and checked only when its rule is triggered.

The exceptions and rules are tightly linked.
  • When there is a transaction, rules are evaluated.
  • If a rule is matched, its exception is evaluated, if any.
  • If the exception is matched, the exception action is taken.
