Results
Parse Delimited rules are identified by a three key parts: the Applies To class, a Namespace value, and a Record Type.
To execute this method, the system:
- First forms a key from the class of the step page combined with the Namespace and RecordType parameters to this method. (If the Step Page field for this step on the Activity form is blank, it uses the class that is the Applies To key part of the activity.)
- Next, rule resolution retrieves a Parse Delimited rule.
- Finally, the system executes the Parse Delimited rule in the current context. The value of the property referenced in the SourceProperty parameter is parsed into other property values, as defined by the Parse Delimited rule.
