Multi-condition event

Multi-condition event allows you set up complex searches to match Use Cases not covered by other Use Cases. If your requirements are not met by the available Use Cases, Multi-condition event can be used to create custom or complex searches tailored to your specific needs.

It is recommended to use specific Use Cases whenever possible, as they are optimized for their respective scenarios and provide a simpler configuration experience.
