Key parts:
A map value has two key parts:
Field | Description |
Apply to | Select a class that this map value applies to. The list of available class names depends on the ruleset that you select. Each class can restrict applying rules to an explicit set of rulesets as specified on the Advanced tab of the class form. Map value rules can apply to an embedded page. On the Map Value form, you can
use the keywords |
Identifier | Enter a name that is a valid Java identifier. Begin the name with a letter and use only letters, numbers, and hyphens. See How to enter a Java identifier. |
Rule resolution
When searching for instances of this rule type, the system uses full rule resolution which:
- Filters candidate rules based on a requestor's ruleset list of rulesets and versions
- Searches through ancestor classes in the class hierarchy for candidates when no matching rule is found in the starting class
- Finds circumstance-qualified rules that override base rules
- Finds time-qualified rules that override base rules
