Condition-based assignment

Condition-based assignment methods follow the same general pattern:

• They use a set of criteria to find a set of qualifying users, which can span multiple groups.
• They perform round-robin assignment among the resulting set of users.

It is important to note:

• PolicyCenter ties the round-robin sequence to the set of criteria, not to the set of users. Thus, using the same set of restrictions to find a set of users re-uses the same round-robin sequence. However, two different sets of restrictions can result in distinct round-robin sequences, even if the set of resulting users is the same.
• PolicyCenter does not use this kind of round-robin assignment with the load factors maintained in the PolicyCenter Administration screen. Those load factors are meaningful only within a single group, and condition-based assignment can span multiple groups.
