Defining Process Rule
|
|
|
|
This page can be used to define or edit a rule for the selected task.
Select the “Define Process Rule” link at the bottom of the “Define Process Rule – Choose Task” page.
The "Define Process Rule" page appears.
The system displays the following fields:
|
Component Name |
The name of the component in which the task is present, to which process rules need to be attached. |
|
Activity Name |
The name of the activity in which the task is present, to which process rules need to be attached. |
|
Task Name |
The name of the task to which rules need to be attached. |
Enter the following field:
|
Process Rule ID |
The unique rule ID of an existing rule (Alphanumeric, 30). |
Click the “Get” pushbutton to retrieve the process rule details.
Modify the following fields, if required:
|
Process Rule Description |
The description of the process rule (Alphanumeric, 40). |
|
Stored Procedure Name |
The name of the stored procedure (Alphanumeric, 25). If specified, the process rules are built based on the stored procedures. Click on the lens icon near the ‘Stored Procedure Name’ to launch the ‘Help on Stored Procedure’ page. The Stored Procedure name can be selected from this page. |
Note: If the name of a stored procedure is specified, then the process rule is built based on that procedure.
The system displays the following fields in the multiline:
|
Parameter Description |
Use the drop-down list box to select the description of the parameter defined for workflow area. It is a business term used to build a conditional expression. |
|
Relational Operator |
Use the drop-down list box to select the relational operator to define the rule. Based on the parameter, relational operator and parameter value, the rule will be evaluated. The relational operator can be one of the following: ‘=’, ’<>’, ’>’, ’<’, ’>=’, ’<=’, ’IN’ and ’NOT IN’. |
|
Parameter Value |
The static value of the parameter to be considered for rule evaluation (Alphanumeric, 256). |
|
Value List |
The list of values for the selected parameter. This can be used in conjunction with the relational operator ‘IN’ and ‘NOT IN’. |
|
Parameter Description |
Use the drop-down list box to select the description of another parameter. |
|
Logical Operator |
Use the drop-down list box to select the logical operator. It can either be ‘AND’ or ‘OR’. |
|
Brace |
Use the drop-down list box to select the brace to separate conditional expressions, which can either be '(‘ or ‘)’. |
|
Sequence No |
The sequence number of the condition defined for the rule (Integer). The conditions will be evaluated sequentially. |
Note: "Parameter Description" can be used to create a rule by comparing two parameters instead of comparing it with static values. This can be done by selecting parameters from two columns in the same row and a required relational operator.
Note: For a single record in the multiline, either logical operator or brace or a combination of parameter, relational operator and value can be selected.
Select the “Display Condition” pushbutton to view the rule that is defined in the multiline.
The system displays the condition defined.
Note: For example, if the user has chosen “Parameter Description” as ‘Login Language’, “Relational Operator” as ‘=’ and “Parameter Value” as ‘1’ then the condition would be: Login Language = 1
Click the ‘Save’ pushbutton to save the details.
Click the ‘Delete’ pushbutton to delete the details.
You can define a rule by building a condition expression based on the workflow parameters. The workflow parameters will be defined for each area and available for building a rule, which can be evaluated during document processing. You can use stored procedures also for building rules.
