Records can be created in various ways. You can add a new record to your application or copy an existing one. You can specialize existing rules by creating a copy in a specific ruleset, against a different class or (in some cases) with a set of circumstance definitions. You may copy data instances but they 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:

Create a Shortcut rule by selecting Shortcut from the Report category.

NOTE: You cannot create a shortcut until you have created or added reports to the application, and made them available in the Report Browser in the Case Manager portal.
