![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
A condition field specifies when to run business logic such as a business rule or
workflow.

There are two types of condition field.  
{#condition-field-types__table_hjx_w1b_v1b__entry__2}

| Condition field type | Description |
|-|-|
| Condition string | A text field that accepts a plain JavaScript condition statement. The system validates the condition syntax for correctness before an update. |
| Conditions | A field that adds a [condition builder](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=c_ConditionBuilder&version=australia&pubname=australia-platform-user-interface&ft:locale=en-US) to a form. Condition builders require specifying a dependent field whose values the system uses to display choice list options. Typically, the dependent field is the Table field. |
[Table 1. Condition field types]

{#condition-field-types__table_hjx_w1b_v1b}

The system evaluates both types of condition field to determine if the conditions are true or
false. When true, the system runs the business logic. When false, the system ignores the business
logic.

To find dictionary attributes that affect condition fields, see [Altering tables and fields using dictionary attributes](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/9BDmpv90lMoB~WPAcCiiBg "Dictionary attributes alter the behavior of the table or field that the dictionary record describes. Administrators can add or modify dictionary attributes.").
