A RuleSet has a single key part, a name. Give your RuleSet a
name that helps you manage and identify its contents.

Guidelines for RuleSet names
Basics
Start the RuleSet name with a letter and use only letters,
digits, and dashes. Choose names that are short and easy to
remember.
An initial portion of the name can represent your company
and the second portion can represent the application content
or purpose. For example, you might use your company stock
ticker symbol followed by letters that represent the purpose
of the application or its content.
Restrictions
-
Don't choose a
name that starts with the four letters Pega,
or other variations of this text with different case. Such
RuleSets have special capabilities and are reserved for use
by Pegasystems Inc.
- RuleSet names may be up to 64 characters long, but
normally are less than twenty characters long. See
System limits and maximums.

Enter a RuleSet Name value, starting with a letter
and containing only letters, digits, and dashes. See
the additional naming guidelines above. RuleSet names
must be unique system-wide.
To create a language-specific RuleSet name, enter
the base RuleSet name followed by a single underscore
and then the locale code. For example, enter ALPHA_fr
for a French language RuleSet to override text elements
in the ALPHA RuleSet.

Prerequisite
RuleSet Version
|
Identify a RuleSet Version that is a prerequisite to version 01-01-01 of the new RuleSet. The value you enter becomes an entry in the Prerequisite RuleSets Versions array on the Security tab of the Version form. Autocomplete is available for this field.
Process Commander enforces RuleSet version prerequisites only during development (as a developer adds or saves rules) and as rules are imported during Import Archive operations. Prerequisites are not enforced at runtime.
