Records can be created in various ways. You can add a brand new record to your application or copy an existing one. Existing rules can be specialized by creating a copy into a specific ruleset, against a different class or (in some cases) with a set of circumstance definitions. Data instances may be copied but do not support specialization as they are not versioned.

Based on your use case, the Create, Save As or Specialization form is used to create the record. The number of fields and available options vary by record type. Start by familiarizing yourself with the generic layout of these forms and their common fields:

This help topic then identifies the key parts and options that are applicable to the record type you are creating.

Create a data page rule by selecting Data Page from the Data Model category in the Records Explorer, or by clicking Manage and then Create new data page in the Data Explorer.

Key parts:

A data page rule has a single key part, a page name:

Field

Description

Identifier

Enter a name for the top-level page created and maintained by this rule. Page names are case-sensitive. Choose a name that is unique within the RuleSet. Start the name with a letter and use only letters, digits, and underscores.

You can't use the reserved names such as pxThread, pxRequestor, pxProcess, pyWorkPage in the page name. For a complete list of reserved names on your system, review the prconfig.xml value for DeclarePages.ReservedPageNames. See also Understanding page names and reserved pages.

Data pages have names that start with Declare_ or D_.

Rule resolution

Limited rule resolution based on RuleSets and versions only applies to data page rules. For a node-scope page, choose a name that is unique system-wide. You can create multiple data pages with the same name in separate versions of one RuleSet.
