Atlas — Standard Sections

Your system contains hundreds of standard sections. Most useful in your application are those that apply to the Work- or Work-Cover- class. Others — typically that apply to @baseclass — support a composite portals. (Additional standard sections support developer-oriented flow processing, such as that provided by the Application Accelerator and Connector wizard.)

To understand the structure of a harness-based form, use the Rules Inspector tool to identify the underlying harness, section, and property rules.

To see a complete list of the standard and custom sections available to you (based on your RuleSets and security), use the Rules Explorer.

These standard sections are notable:
