Defining Rule
This page can be used to define the rule, based on which the users will be identified by workflow.
Select the “Define Rule” link at the bottom of the “User Identification – Rule Based Path” page.
The "Define Rule" page appears.
The system displays the following fields:
Component Name |
The name of the component for which notification messages need to be defined. |
Activity Name |
The name of the activity for which notification messages need to be defined. |
Task Name |
The name of the task for which notification messages need to be defined. |
State Name |
The name of the state for which notification messages need to be defined. |
State Description |
A description of the state. |
Message ID |
The ID of the message that is mapped to the workflow step. |
Message Description |
A description of the message. |
Enter the following field:
Resource Rule ID |
The ID of the resource rule (Alphanumeric, 30). |
Click the ‘Get’ pushbutton to retrieve the resource rule details.
Modify the details in the following fields, if required:
Resource Rule Description |
The description of the resource rule (Alphanumeric, 40). |
Stored Procedure Name |
The name of the stored procedure (Alphanumeric, 25). Click on the lens icon near the ‘Stored Procedure Name’ to launch ‘Help on Stored Procedure’ page. The stored procedure name can be selected from this page. |
Note: If the ‘User Identification Basis’ is ‘Stored Procedure Based’ then the name of the stored procedure must be specified.
Enter the following details in the multiline:
Parameter Description |
Use the drop-down list box to select the description of the parameter. 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’. After selecting the parameter and relational operator ‘IN’ or ‘NOT IN’, select the hyperlink ‘Value list‘ to specify the list of values. |
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, 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.
Click the “Display Formula” 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.
To proceed
Select the “Specify Users” link at the bottom of the page to specify the list of users.
Select the "Value List" link at the bottom of the page to specify he list of values for the selected parameter.
You can define rules based on which the users will be identified and map those rules to the organization units.
