harness

A harness — an instance of the Rule-HTML-Harness rule type — defines a runtime form. Each harness defines the appearance and behavior of a form. Harnesses produce three types of forms:

• User forms — For reviewing, entering, and updating work items in a PRPC application.
• Composite portals — User portals that can support application users with browsers from Firefox, Google, or Apple (as well as Microsoft) if appropriate guardrails are followed.
• Rule forms — Forms that appear in the Designer Studio that developers and administrators use to review, enter, or update rules or selected data objects. (This capability is reserved.)

Harnesses are defined on one form — the Harness rule form — that at run time produces a different form — a user form, rule form, or composite portal. To avoid confusion, do not use "harness form" to refer to the run time presentation of a harness.
