Validate rulesCreate a validate rule by selecting Validate from the Process category.
A validate rule has two key parts:
Field |
Description |
| Applies To |
The classes you can enter here may depend on the RuleSet you select. On the Restrictions tab of the Class form, a class rule may limit rules applying to that class to belong to one of an explicit list of RuleSets. |
| Validate Name |
Enter a name for this validate rule, starting with a letter and containing only alphanumeric characters. |
Select a class to which this validate rule applies. Typically, validate rules in business process applications apply to a class derived from the Work- base class or Data- base class.
You cannot create rules with Work- as the Applies To class. Instead, choose a class derived from Work-, such as a work type or work pool container class. In many cases, the Save As dialog box defaults a container class for this field. See For general information about this form see Completing the new rule dialog box.
Rule resolution
Full rule resolution applies to validate rules. When searching for validate rules, the system:
- Filters candidate rules based on a requestor's RuleSet list of RuleSets and versions
- Searches through ancestor classes in the class hierarchy for candidates when no matching rule is found in the starting class
- Finds circumstance-qualified rules that override base rules
- Finds time-qualified rules that override base rules
