# outcome

The outcome determines whether or not an action will be triggered when the condition alternative is met. There has to be an outcome defined for each alternative.&#x20;

The only options for action entries are yes ("y") and no ("n").&#x20;

* If all conditions specified by an alternative are met and the outcome is "y", then the associated action will be performed.&#x20;
* If all conditions specified by an alternative are met but the outcome is "n", the associated action will not be performed.&#x20;
* If not all conditions specified by an alternative are met, the associated action will not be performed, even if the outcome is "y".
