Atlas — Standard Control rules without parameters |
Your system contains more than 500 standard control rules (formerly HTML Property rules). Use the Rules by Type Explorer to see a complete list of the standard and custom control rules available to you.
A few control rules accept parameters to provide a wide range of display formats for input values and output values. When possible, use of auto-generated or parameter-based control rules in section rules, flow actions, and harness rules is recommended. If you follow this recommendation, your application uses fewer distinct rules and operates more efficiently. See Standard control rules with parameters. and Standard auto-generated control rules.
These standard control rules without parameters are notable.
