Correspondence rules - Completing the New or Save As form

A correspondence rule has three key parts.

Field	Description
Type	Select `Correspondence` from the `Process` category.
Applies To	Identify the class of the page that is to be the basis for stream generation of correspondence from this rule. Typically, this is a class derived from the Work- base class. If this stream has no associated page and is to be referenced only with the <pega:include ..>JSP tag in other correspondence rules, don't create a Correspondence rule. Create a correspondence fragment (Rule-Corr-Fragment rule type) rather than a correspondence rule (Rule-Obj-Corr rule type). The classes you can enter here may depend on the RuleSet you select. On the Advanced tab of the Class form, a class rule may limit rules applying to that class to belong to one of an explicit list of RuleSets.
Correspondence Name	Type a name for this rule. Begin the name with a letter and follow the rules for an identifier. See How to enter identifiers.
Correspondence Type	Identify a correspondence type, the name of a Rule-CorrType rule, to indicate the medium by which this correspondence is to be sent, such as Email or Letter.

Full rule resolution applies to correspondence rules. When searching for correspondence rules, the system:

Filters candidate rules based on a requestor's RuleSet list of RuleSets and versions
Searches through ancestor classes in the class hierarchy for candidates when no matching rule is found in the starting class
Finds circumstance-qualified rules that override base rules
Finds time-qualified rules that override base rules
