A condition is automatically enabled as soon as you add it to a column.

Instead of removing it completely, you can simply disable it. This topic shows you how to disable a condition and how to enable it when you want to re-apply it.

How to disable a condition

  2. Slide your cursor to the right until you see this button: .

For example:
