Description

Applies To

SmartPromptSelect a class that this section rule applies to. In most cases, select the name of the class that contains the work objects that the section rule supports. Choose the class that is most specific to the application and its work objects, rather than a general Work- class.

In special cases a section rule can apply to a class derived from the Data-, Embed- or Assign- base class. For example, a section may display properties of the class Embed-OrderDetails, where the work object contains a Page List property named CustomerOrder that applies to the Embed-OrderDetails property.
