Define Qualification Rule

So far, Manoj knows how to set up products in the InfinitraBytes catalog. Now, he plans to meet a key business requirement: make certain products visible only to customers in specific states. To do this, he uses product qualification rules to control visibility based on customer location.

Follow along as he defines a product qualification rule.
