About  New  Settings  History  More...

Records can be created in various ways. You can add a brand new record to your application or copy an existing one. Existing rules can be specialized by creating a copy into a specific ruleset, against a different class or (in some cases) with a set of circumstance definitions. Data instances may be copied but do not support specialization as they are not versioned.

Based on your use case, the Create, Save As or Specialization form is used to create the record. The number of fields and available options vary by record type. Start by familiarizing yourself with the generic layout of these forms and their common fields:

• Completing the Create form
• Completing the Save As form
• Completing the Specialization form

This help topic then identifies the key parts and options that are applicable to the record type you are creating.

Create a system settings rule by selecting System Settings from the SysAdmin category.

Key parts:

A system settings rule has two key parts:

Field	Description
Owning RuleSet	Enter a RuleSet name to contain this rule.
Setting Key	Enter a name for this system settings rule. Start the name with a letter and use only digits and letters.

Rule resolution

When searching for a system settings rule, the system filters candidate rules based on a requestor's RuleSet list of RuleSets and versions.

Circumstance and time-qualified resolution features are not available for system settings rules. The class hierarchy is not relevant to rule resolution for system settings rules.
