Creating Correspondence Fragment rules
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.
Create a correspondence fragment rule by selecting Correspondence
Fragment from the Process category.
Key parts:
A correspondence fragment rule has two key parts:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Stream Name | Enter a name of your choice for this fragment. Begin the name with a letter and use only letters, numbers, the ampersand character, and hyphens. |
| Correspondence Type | Identify a correspondence type in which this fragment is to be available. (A correspondence type is a key to a Rule-CorrType instance.) |
Rule resolution
When searching for a correspondence fragment rule, the system:
- Filters candidate rules based on a requestor's RuleSet list of RuleSets and versions
- Finds circumstance-qualified rules that override base rules with the same key
- Finds time-qualified rules that override base rules
