The operator is used to indicate how the field is connected to the value, that is in which condition the value will be searched.
Operators are used to search contacts, or to create groups of contacts.
Following are the most common operators used, based on the type of data.
Operators used to calculate contacts at the time it is used, and not when the group or search criteria are created
These operatros are very useful as they allow you to calculate the number of corresponding contacts each time the group or search is executed, thus based on a relative date. For example, if you use a criteria with such an operator in a automated marketing scenario, eligible contacts will be recalulcuted each time the scenario is launched.
