Application Application

Structure

The Application Structure landing page contains gadgets that you can use to review and drill down into the RuleSets, access groups, and operators referenced by your current application and its built-on applications. laplm 3/31/10

  RuleSet Stack gadget

This gadget lists the RuleSets and RuleSet versions that make up your current application including those inherited from any built-on applications. It also allows you to lock versions and roll (increment) them to higher versions.

The display is organized by Current Application followed by the Built on Application(s) and is filtered by RuleSet and version, lock status, total number of rules, and number of checked out rules.

To open an application rule in the list, click on its name.

Field

Description

RuleSet

The RuleSets and versions in the application.

Lock

Contains an icon indicating the lock status of RuleSet versions for the application.

  • — Indicates that the version for any given RuleSet is locked. Also indicates a locked application rule.
  • — Indicates that the version for any given RuleSet is unlocked. Also indicates an unlocked application rule.
  • — Warns you that a locked RuleSet version has lower unlocked versions. Click the icon to view a list that shows you which versions are unlocked. To lock an unlocked version, select it in the list, and its rule form opens where you can lock the version. As a best practice, leave only the highest version of a RuleSet unlocked.

Lock and Roll

Click to display the Application Lock and Roll window where you can review, lock current RuleSet versions, and roll (increment) versions in a single step. You can optionally update your current application rule to to reflect the new versions, or create a new application rule that contains the new RuleSet versions.

In the window, select the application RuleSet versions you want to lock and roll to a higher version.

When you lock a RuleSet version and select the Roll checkbox, you can modify the new prerequisites. By default, they are the same as the current ones. You can select different prerequisites, add additional ones, and delete ones from the New list. To add another RuleSet version to the list, click . To open the rule form for a RuleSet in the New list, click next to its name. To delete a RuleSet from the New list, click next to its name.

Password

Appears when you select the Lock checkbox. Enter the password for the RuleSet Version.

Roll

Displays when Lock is checked. Check if you want to roll the RuleSet to a higher version.

Roll to Version

Displays the version that the RuleSet will be rolled to unless you indicate another version number. Defaults to the next logical number in the RuleSet numbering sequence.
