A named condition is a condition that you define and then save by name in the Oracle BI Presentation Catalog so that you can reuse it in agents and dashboard pages.
You create a named condition when you create a condition from the:
New menu in the global header by selecting Condition under Analysis and Interactive Reporting
Home page by clicking the More link under Analysis and Interactive Reporting in the Create area and selecting Condition
You also create a named condition from the "Agent editor: Condition tab" when you save an inline condition to the catalog. For information on inline conditions, see "What Are Inline Conditions?"
