Records can be created in various ways. You can add a new record to your application or copy an existing one. You can specialize existing rules by creating a copy in a specific ruleset, against a different class or (in some cases) with a set of circumstance definitions. You may copy data instances but they 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 using the following Developer Help topics:

Completing the Create form Designer Studio – Completing the Create form
Completing the Save As form Completing the Save As form
Completing the Specialization form Completing the Specialization form

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

Create a Parse Structured rule by selecting Parse Structured from the Integration-Mapping category.

Key parts:

A Parse Structured rule has two key parts:

Field

Completing the Field

Apply to

Select the exact class that this rule applies to. When this rule is referenced in an activity or elsewhere, this key part must match the class provided in the referencing rule, because rule resolution does not search the class hierarchy for parse structured rules.

For example, if a service file rule references this parse structured rule, the Primary Page Class on the Service tab must match this Apply to key part.

The list of available class names depends on the ruleset you select. Each class can restrict applying rules to an explicit set of rulesets as specified on the Advanced tab of the class form.

Identifier

Enter a record type, unique within the class. Begin this key part with a letter and follow the rules for a Java identifier. See How to enter a Java identifier.

Rule resolution

When searching for rules of this type, the system:

Filters candidate rules based on a requestor's ruleset list of rulesets and versions
Searches through ancestor classes in the class hierarchy for candidates when no matching rule is found in the starting class

Time-qualified and circumstance-qualified rule resolution features are not available for this rule type.
