Business rule attributes define the characteristics of the rule: its name, classification, status, business description, and
the like. You can view rule attributes in the righthand pane of the Rules window.
Tip: Use the
Technical Description,
Business Description,
Audit,
Classification,
Status, and
Transition attributes for a business function or rule set to indicate that a value applies for all the rules included in the business
function or rule set.
You can propagate rule attribute values to one or more rules, and you can use a variety of methods to batch edit rule attributes:
- Code Search lets you generate business rules in a specified rule set with predefined attributes.
- The search facility in the Rules pane lets you locate existing rules with common characteristics, which you can then modify
in bulk with the Change Rules feature.
You can modify attribute characteristics and valid values, and you can create custom attributes suited to your particular
needs.
