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 can copy data instances but they do not support specialization because they are not versioned.
Based on your use case, you use the Create, Save As, or Specialization form to create the record. The number of fields and available options varies by record type. Start by familiarizing yourself with the generic layout of these forms and their common fields:

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