|
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:
This help topic then identifies the key parts and options that are applicable to the record type you are creating.
Create a report definition by selecting Report Definition from the Reports category.
A report definition has two key parts:

Select a class that this report definition applies to. Select a concrete class, or select a work pool to report on all work types in the work pool. (Such reports can only present properties that are common to all work types in the work pool.) Notes:
The list of available class names may depend on the ruleset you select. Each class may restrict rules applying to that class to an explicit set of rulesets as specified on the Advanced tab of the class form. |
