* **`Equals`**check that the value is equals the one entered by the respondent. This is not case sensitive.
* **`Contains`** check that the value is part of the one entered by the respondent.
* **`Greater`** check that the value is greater than the one entered by the respondent. This is type depended if you selected for example the numeric then 10 would be greater than 9, if it was a date then 2nd June would be greater than 1st June.  
* **`Less`** check that the value is less than the one entered by the respondent.
* **`RegEx`** let you define a regular expression to validate the respondent value.

{% hint style="info" %}

{% endhint %}
