Creating a ruleset and a ruleset version
For easier maintenance and development of your application, create rulesets so that you can categorize the rules that your application uses based on usage, purpose, and dependencies. You can also create newer versions of existing rulesets to keep track of version control. As a result, you can quickly locate and analyze the elements that you change in your application.
For example, you can create a ruleset that stores APIs that your organization provides. When you want to enhance the APIs, create a new ruleset version, so that you can track and manage the changes over time.- In the header of Dev Studio, click .
