About Function Alias rules |

Use an alias function rule to define prompting for a function rule for users who maintain decision rules. The alias rule provides an optional natural-language description and prompting that supports certain selection lists on decision rule forms.
Complete and test the function rule itself before defining a function alias rule that references it.
You
cannot define an alias for a function rule that returns a
complex Java type (that is, a type other than a
Java.lang.String
type or a primitive type such as
int
).
Alias function rules are useful for functions that managers or less technical developers may use frequently in decision tree rule, when condition rules, Declare Expression rules, and constraints rules.
Alias function rules are instances of the Rule-Alias-Function class. They belong to the Technical category.
