Creating a business rule record

You create business rule records from existing records.

Before you begin

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

Why and when to perform this task

To create a new business rule record, perform the following steps:

Steps for this task

  1. On the Rule page click Add Selection Record.

    A new business rule record is added at the bottom of the list with the Start Date Time and End Date Time fields set to Jan 1. A message displays in the Messages field indicating that the date/time field values are invalid.

  2. Set the Start Date/Time field:
    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).
  3. Set the End Date/Time field.
    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.
  4. Select the Effective Rule Logic from the drop-down list.
  5. Click Save .

Result

A message displays in the message field indicating that the record has been temporarily saved and that you can publish the changes from the Publish and Revert page.
