Rule page

The Rule page provides an interface for modifying the values of a business rule in the rule logic selection record. The information is displayed in table format.

From the Rule page, you can perform such tasks as browsing, modifying, adding, splitting, or deleting effective dates for a business rule. You can also create a new business rule by copying an existing one.

The page-specific information section of the content area includes the following elements.

Rule Logic Selection Records section

Provides a list of effective business rules that are the building blocks of that rule and enables working with business rule records, such as adding and sorting selection records.

Start Date/Time
Provides the options of either a specific date or "no start date."
Note: The "no start date" signifies that the target rule logic is effective for any date before the end date.
End Date/Time
Provides the option of either a specific date or "no end date."
Note: The "no end date" signifies that the rule logic is effective for the start date and any date after it
Effective Rule Logic
Specifies the rule set or decision table that is effective in the corresponding time frame.
Action

Default Rule Logic
Provides a default rule logic if no other rule logic is applicable. It is selected when the date does not match any of the other selection records.
Note: You can specify the rule logic selection date time value in the business rules manager with either local time (uses the time zone of the client running the Web browser) or Universal Time Coordinated (UTC) time.
