   3. Click Apply.
   4. If you need to add more than one parallel Condition node, click the add node () on the right of the Target node.
   5. If you need to configure action settings for the Condition node, add an Action node by clicking the add node () on the right.
      For details, see Step 7.
   6. If you need to configure else-if conditions or else actions, add an Else-If Condition or Else Action node by clicking the add node () under the Condition node.
      For details, see Step 9.
