This form only allows querying and viewing of rules. By using the Add Rule or Edit Rule navigation buttons in the context of a particular rule, the rule text for each rule can be created or changed in RULF2000. It is also possible to insert a new rule by selecting the Add Unit button in the context of a specific Rule Group/Rule Subgroup. The insertion of new rules is only recommended for the ADM and FIN Rule Groups. Inserting new rules in other Rule Groups will have no effect on system functionality because they will not be linked to the events that need to trigger them.

Further information relating to a rule or its application may be viewed in the Comments block. This is accessed via the Comments navigation button.

On entering the form, enter query mode and enter the search criteria in any field of the Rule Group block and run the query.

To query for a particular rule;

• select the rule group and subgroup
• navigate to the desired field in the Rule Block and enter query mode.
• enter the desired search criteria in any field of the Rule Group block and run the query.

Note:

• Users are not able to add new rule groups or delete existing ones.

Rules belonging to the group and subgroup selected in the Rule Group block will be displayed.

To query a rule in a selected subgroup, enter the desired search criteria in any field of the Rule block and then run the query.

To change the name or description of a rule select the Edit Rule button, make changes to the appropriate fields in RULF2000, and then save.

To delete a rule, select the rule and then click on the Edit Rule button to go to RULF2000. You can delete the record in this form if it has not been used.

To view a rule's comments, select the desired rule and press the Comments button. (A negative sign "-" in the comments button indicates that no comments have been recorded for the rule. A plus sign "+" indicates that comments exist for the rule).

Note:

• A rule may be queried using a word or phrase in the Rule Text or Rule Comments field.
  e.g. A rule known to contain the rule option UNIT_SET may be queried using %UNIT_SET% in the Rule text field.
• The rule options and operators available for use when editing or creating a rule in RULF2000 are determined by the rule selected.
• Rules that are renamed will maintain the same operators and functionality as the original.
• The insertion of new rules in rule groups apart from ADM and FINANCE is not recommended. Such rules will not be linked to the events in the system which trigger them and will therefore never be called. e.g. A newly created enrolment message rule will never be called because it is not possible for the user to link it to the failure of its related rule.
