The embodiment of the invention provides a screening rule configuration method, a display method and a
client. The configuration method comprises the steps that an operation object is determined according to first input of a user, wherein the operation object is a property or tag;
metadata of the operation object is acquired, wherein the
metadata comprises the type of the operation object; a conditional item used for rule configuration is determined according to the type of the operation object; the conditional item determined this time and existing conditional items form a
tree structure, a father node of the conditional item determined this time in the
tree structure is a logic operation node, and the logic operation node is used for expressing a logic relation between conditional items on child nodes of the logic operation node; and a rule expression is generated according to the
tree structure. According to the embodiment, the
corresponding conditional item is determined through the operation object, the conditional item determined this time and the existing conditional items form the tree structure, the logic relation of multilevel nested conditions can be flexibly set, and therefore screening rules can be flexibly configured.
