About Field Value rules

A field value rule has three key parts.

In many cases, you can bypass the form using the  Quick Create   option.

Field

Description

Type

Select Field Value from the Property category.

Applies To

SmartPromptIdentify the class for which you're creating this rule.

The classes you can enter here may depend on the RuleSet you select. On the Restrictions 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.

Field Name

SmartPromptEnter the name of a subset of values. Usually this is name of a Single Value property in the class. Do not enter a leading period.

Field Value

Optional. Enter a literal constant that is acceptable value for the property, using only letters, digits, single spaces, and a dash character. The values you enter here may appear in a selection list or other aspects of the application user interface, so choose text meaningful to the user community.

NoteEnter no more than 64 characters. If the Applies To and Field Name key parts together identify a Single Value property that has a Maximum Length value less than 64, that limit applies.
