Completing the New or Save As form for Access When rules
Records can be created in various ways. You can add a new record to your application or copy an existing one. You can specialize existing rules by creating a copy in a specific ruleset, against a different class or (in some cases) with a set of circumstance definitions. You can copy data instances but they do not support specialization because they are not versioned.
Create an Access When rule by selecting
Access When
from the
Security
category.
An Access When rule has two key parts:
| Field | Description |
| Apply to |
Select the class to which this Access When condition applies.
For Access When rules that restrict the opening, modification, or deletion of rules, use
|
| When Name |
Enter a name for this rule. Begin the name with a letter and use only letters, numbers, the ampersand character, and hyphens.
As a best practice, start the name with a capital letter.
Do not enter either of the keywords
