XOR
Expression 1 is true but expression 2 is false, or expression 2 is true and expression 1 is false.
4. In the second indented Expression list and the related fields, create the second rule expression using the instructions in Creating a Simple Rule Expression and Creating a Date-Time Rule Expression.
5. Click Save to save the rule expression.
