This operator is used to match an item within a range. For example: A user can configure a range that allows an assignment if a patron is within two classes of their roommate. So the assignment matches if a freshman is compared with a junior, but not with a senior. The is contained in operator uses an attribute’s predefined value list to determine the values to use. When comparing classes, for example, a value list must be defined (such as Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior).
