Harness rules
Completing the New or Save As form

Field

Description

Select Harness from the User Interface category.

For a work object form, enter the name of the class to contain the work objects to which the harness form supports. Choose the class that is most specific to the application and its work objects, rather than a general Work- class.

Typically the class you enter in this field is derived from the Work- base class. In special cases, a harness rule can apply to a class derived from the Assign- base class.

Enter a name for this harness rule. If this rule is to override a standard rule, choose:

• AutoClose — An empty harness that closes automatically. An alternative to Confirm, for use in those flow actions that do not require users to see (and dismiss) a confirmation form.
• Confirm — To display the results, including the work object ID, of an update.
• New — To create a work object. (You can choose a value other than New if desired; identify the harness in the Harness for work object creation field on the Process tab of the Flow form.)
• NewCovered — To create a work object that is associated with an existing cover work object.
• Perform — To update and possibly complete an assignment.
• Reopen — To allow a resolved work object to be reopened.
• Review — To review a work object and assignment without the ability to update.

Begin the name with a letter and use only alphanumeric, ampersand, and dash characters to form a Java identifier. See How to enter identifiers.

Optional. Select PortletHarness to create a harness that uses portlet-compliant HTML and can be displayed in a portlet window on a portal server through Service Portlet rules.
