### Examples <a href="#h.p07m351ugldw" id="h.p07m351ugldw"></a>

In the following example, all expressions located in the *Alarms → Area1* group will return *True*, the rest will return *False*.

```javascript
if (context.expression.path.startsWith('Alarms.Area1'))
  return false;
return true;
```

In the example below, the expression will return *True* if the previous result was *False*, otherwise it will return *True*.

```javascript
if (context.expression.currentState.value == false)
  return true;
return false;
```
