Back Forward Rule form

A rule form allows you to review, add or update rules and data instances in their application.

In early releases of PRPC, all rule forms were defined by the Form Builder tool as Form rules; instances of the Rule-File-Form rule type. Starting with PRPC 7, all rule forms are migrating from Form to Harness. This product wide initiative brings the following benefits:

 

Browser Behavior

When using a supported version of IE, Harness-based rules open directly in the Designer Studio while Form-based rules open in a new window. Internet Explorer supports all record types.

When using a supported version of a non-IE browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) Form-based rules display the following warning message: "This rule form is currently only compatible with Internet Explorer". Harness-based rules continue to open directly in the Designer Studio, except as noted below.

 

Harness-based forms that require Internet Explorer

A few record types have been converted to Harness but are not yet fully standards-compliant. As such, they open in a new window and are only available when using supported versions of IE. These forms are expected to be upgraded for cross-browser compliance in the next major PRPC release:

Record Category

Common Name

Obj Class

Process

Correspondence Fragment

Correspondence

Rule-Corr-Fragment

Rule-Obj-Corr

User Interface
