Modifying a business rule record

You can modify the date and time values of existing business rule selection records.

Before you begin

You need to be in the Edit mode for the rule you want to modify.

Why and when to perform this task

To modify a business rule, perform the following steps:

Steps for this task

  1. On the Rule page edit the Start Date/Time of the selection record:
    1. Select the month from the drop-down list.
    2. Select the day from the drop-down list.
    3. Enter the year.
    4. Enter the time (in 24-hour format).
  2. Edit the End Date/Time of the selection record:
    1. Select the month from the drop-down list.
    2. Select the day from the drop-down list.
    3. Enter the year.
    4. Enter the time (in 24-hour format).
    Restriction: Only one rule logic can be in effect at any one point in time. Rule dates cannot have date/time ranges that overlap.
    Note: Gaps in date/time ranges are allowed. If a default business rule has been specified, it is used during the gap. As a best practice, you should always specify a default rule.
  3. Click Save.
    Note: If the Date/Time fields are invalid, the fields will turn red and a message will display in the message field indicating that the dates/time field values are invalid.

Result

The record is saved locally and is ready to be published to the database. For more information, see Publishing and reverting business rules.
