Purpose

Use a form rule to define an HTML and XML form used for data object or rule entry and validation.

The form rule type contains a rule for each concrete class derived from the Rule- base class or Data- base class that has an associated HTML form. The form, when extracted as a static file on the Process Commander server, supports rule and data form operations.

• The Structure tab contains the XML text that defines the form. You can create or revise the XML text only with the Form Builder tool.
• The Form tab contains the resulting HTML text and buttons to upload or download the form file. Although Process Commander allows you to edit this generated HTML text, use caution. Do not alter certain marked portions of the generated HTML code.

When you save this form rule, Process Commander deletes any previous HTM file on the Web server corresponding to that name, directory, RuleSet, and version.

Where referenced

Form rules are referenced in Class rules for concrete Rule- and Data- classes. The first time a requestor asks for this form, Process Commander extracts the file into an appropriate Web server directory on the server.

Access

Use the Rules by Type Explorer to list all form rules available to you.

Category

Form rules are instances of the Rule-File-Form class. They are part of the SysAdmin category.

Notes

Beginning with V5.5, some rule forms (and data object forms) are defined harness rules, as an alternative to form rules created with the FormBuilder tool. For example, the Property, Access Group, Operator ID, and Service Level forms are based on harness rules. This capability is reserved to Pegasystems.
