More about Field Values
|
|
Create field values to defines an acceptable value for a certain subset that you reference in the Subset Name field of the General tab on the Property form.
A field value has three key parts: a class name, a field name, and a field value. Two or more field value instances where the first two key parts are identical are known as a subset. This is the unit of property validation.
For example, the class Work- contains a standard property named pyStatusWork of mode Single Value
. Standard field values define one subset of allowable values for this status, using the three key parts:
Class |
Field Name |
Field Value |
Work- | pyStatusWork | New |
Work-- | pyStatusWork | Open |
Work- | pyStatusWork | Pending |
Work- | pyStatusWork | Resolved-Completed |
Work- | pyStatusWork | Resolved-Duplicate |
Work- | pyStatusWork | Resolved-Rejected |
These six instance records form one subset. You can create more field value instances using the same class and field name, adding to this subset. You can create more instances with the same class but a different name, creating another subset.
Your application RuleSet can include additional status values, such as the following examples:
Class |
Field Name |
Field Value |
Work - |
pyStatusWork
|
New-Scanned
|
Work-
|
pyStatusWork
|
New-PhoneTranscription
|
Work-
|
pyStatusWork
|
Pending-Customer
|
Work-
|
pyStatusWork
|
Pending-Supplier
|
Work-
|
pyStatusWork
|
Resolved-Withdrawn
|
The word Resolved
as the first portion of this property value has special significance. If you create additional field values to define other resolved status values, start the value with this word.
To aid in localizing user forms, you can easily identify and update field values referenced in a harness, section, or flow action. Select > Rules Inspector > Field Value Rules to enable or disable this capability. BYRNB 2/22/10 See Rules Inspector tool — Localizing with the Field Value Inspector.
These standard rules support localization based on field values: (In most cases, automatically generated facilities call these functions in the appropriate places; you do not need to reference them explicitly.)
