About the Declarative Network display

For a property that applies to a work type in an application:

1. Establish the appropriate work pool as current. Select Switch Work Pool > work pool from the Application menu.
2. Select > Process and Rules > Business Rules.
3. The Declarative Network displays a list of declarative networks in the current application. Each list contains:
   • The declarative network name and level (top- level or intermediate). To open the Declarative Network display, click a declarative network name.
   • The declare expression used to calculate the declarative network. Click the Declare Expression icon to open the declare expression rule. Click the Open icon to open the target property.

For any property for which a Declare Expression rule is defined:

1. Open the property.
2. On the Advanced tab, click  Explore .
3. In the resulting pop-up window, click the Dependencies tab.

For a property appearing on a user form:

A user form may display the value of a computed property. Use these steps to learn the name of the computed property and see the dependency network for that property:

1. Enable the Rules Inspector, by selecting > Rules Inspector > Declarative Rules from the Quick Launch bar.
2. Click the Refresh button () to redisplay the form.
3. Click the D link next to the property.

See Using the Declarative Network display.

Using a different form of the dependency network, you can interactively test the computation it defines. See Unit testing a Declare Expression rule.
