Constraints rules
|
Create a constraints rule by selecting
Constraints
from the
Decision
category.
A constraints rule has two key parts:
Field |
Description |
Applies To |
Select a class for this rule. At runtime, a clipboard page of this class must be a top-level page. The properties to be constrained may be in this class (or in the class of an embedded page). You cannot use a Rule-Declare-* class or any ancestor of the Rule-Declare- class (including @baseclass) here. R-8041 7/03 B-1076 You cannot use a class derived from the Code- or Embed- class here. |
Purpose |
Enter a name for this constraint, unique within the Applies To class. Begin the name with a letter and use only alphanumeric, ampersand, and dash characters. No other rules explicitly reference this Purpose value. However, because of normal class inheritance, a constraints rule named MaximumLimit at one level in the class structure may override (and so prevent execution of) a constraints rule named MaximumLimit at a higher level in the class structure. |
