    For example, you can set the default storage of an iPhone to 64 GB for Sales, and to 16 kB for Development. This setting is configured in the new hire order guide by using mutually exclusive rules and setting the storage variable accordingly for Sales and Development.

    The value for an item variable is determined in the following order:
    1. Item variable assignment
