About  New  Security  Availability  History  More...

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:

• Completing the Create form
• Completing the Save As form
• Completing the Specialization form

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

Create an Attachment Category rule by selecting Attachment Category from the Security category.

Key parts:

An Attachment Category rule has two key parts:

Field	Description
Apply to	Select the class that this rule applies to, typically a class derived from Work-. The list of available class names may depend on the ruleset you select. Each class may restrict rules applying to that class to an explicit set of rulesets as specified on the Advanced tab of the class form.
Identifier	Enter a name that is a Java identifier. Begin the name with a letter, and use only letters, digits, and the dash character. See How to enter a Java identifier. NOTE: If you are upgrading to V5.5+ from an older version, you can also upgrade an existing category by entering its name in this field. Doing so provides the security capabilities available in this rule. See More about Attachment Category rules for upgrade instructions.

Rule resolution

When searching for rules of this type, 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.

Time-qualified and circumstance-qualified rule resolution features are not available for this rule type.
