Annotations

Since Cúram V6, CER supports "annotations". An annotation is extra metadata within a rule set which is available to clients of CER but does not affect the behavior of CER calculations.

Clients of CER may make use of annotations to govern their behavior when interacting with CER rule sets.

Annotations may be placed on these items in a CER rule set (although each annotation may contain validation to limit where it is placed):

• a rule set (see Rule Set);
• a rule class (see Rule Class);
• a rule attribute (see Attribute); or
• an expression (see Expressions).

Each rule item may contain zero, one or many annotations. Each type of annotation may appear at most once on any one rule item - for example, a rule set may contain both a Label annotation and an EditorMetadata annotation, but cannot contain more than one Label annotation.
