Form rules Completing the New or Save As form
About  New  Form  Structure  History  More...

As a best practice, before creating a new form rule, it is strongly recommended that you investigate using an auto-generated harness instead. The New form displays a message with information about that alternative.

Create a Form rule by selecting Form from the SysAdmin category.

A Form rule has three key parts:

Field	Description
Application Name (Directory)	Enter the name of the server directory into which PRPC extracts this file. Choose a directory name that is suitable for both UNIX and Windows. PRPC creates subdirectories specific to the RuleSet and version to hold the extracted form file. If you enter an uppercase letter, the resulting extracted file name is converted to lowercase letters.
File Name	Enter a file name for this form. Typically, enter the same name as the new rule type.
File Type	Enter a file type, typically htm.

For general information about this form see Completing the new rule dialog box. For general information on the Save As form, see How to enter rule keys using Save As.

Rule resolution

When searching for Form rules, the system filters candidate rules based on a requestor's RuleSet list of RuleSets and versions.

Time-qualified and circumstance-qualified rule resolution features are not available for Form rules. The class hierarchy is not relevant to rule resolution for Form rules.
