Checking in a rule

Updated on November 15, 2021

To make your changes available to your development team after you check out and edit a rule, check in the rule. When you check in edited or updated rules, you contribute to the efficient development of your application and avoid errors that might occur when other developers work on the same rule.

Before you begin: Check out, and then update a rule. For more information, see Checking out a rule.
Caution: Use caution when you check in rules after you perform a private edit, because you may overwrite changes from other developers. For more information about private check out, see Performing a private edit.
  1. In the navigation pane of Dev Studio, click Records, expand the category that contains the rule that you want to check in, and then click the rule.
  2. In the header of the form, click Check in.
  3. If you perform a check in after a private edit, in the Check In window, in the Destination section, specify where you want to save the rule:
    • To save a rule to an unlocked ruleset, select Ruleset, and then specify a ruleset and a ruleset version.
    • To save a rule to a branch, select Branch, and then specify the branch.
    Note: Checking in a private edit to a branch could result in loss of work if another user checks in changes to the same rule. You receive a warning message if your check-in might result in lost work.
  4. In the Check-in comments field, enter a comment that describes your changes to the rule.
  5. Optional: To override the default work item that your application associates with this development change, press the Down arrow key in the Work item to associate field, and then select a work item.
    For more information about your default work item, see Setting your current work item.
  6. Click Check in.
Result: If your edits do not require approval, your changes immediately affect rule resolution and run-time behavior for all users.
  • Configuring the rule check-in approval process

    To turn on controlled check-in for a ruleset, complete the following tasks:

  • Checking in rules in bulk

    Save time and improve your management of the rules that you edit in your application by performing a bulk check-in. When you perform bulk actions, you can view all of the rules that are currently checked out in your application, and then you can check in several rules at once.
