Configuring element details
When you have created a rule element—selected its target form, block, or field, and
chosen the event that triggers its use—you need to configure element details.
In order to do so, click on the element in the Rule Elements grid of the home Form
Rules form, and then click on the Details button. A Business Rule Details form
then appears. Click on its tabs to expose panels in which you can assign security
attributes, set navigation paths, create messages, define default values, lists of values,
or other field attributes, run SQL statements, and run processes defined in the Flow
Rules application.
However, note that certain fields are already completed. The values on display
reflect the selections you made for the rule element in the home Form Rules form.
These include the Form Name , Element Description , Event , Block Name , and Field .
Name fields near the top of the form. You can alter these values only indirectly, by
changing rule-element values in the home Form Rules form.
Setting up security
You can assign security attributes to forms, blocks, tabs, fields, and descriptive
flexfields (DFF). Attributes are available to each of these components in varying
combinations. You can restrict the ability to update, insert, or delete data; require
that data to be entered or those text entries to be in upper or lower case; or hide
screen items. In order to set these security attributes, use the Security panel, which
is selected by default when you open the Business Rule Details form.
If you navigate to another panel in the Business Rule Details form, you can return
to the Security panel by clicking on the Security tab.
If you have used the Event Tracker to set security attributes, each setting occupies a
row in the Security panel. In order to set security attributes for field instances, use
the Field Attributes panel, not the Security panel.
Selecting Components
In each row of the security grid, select a component whose attributes you want to set:
1.
In the Type listbox, choose whether you want to set security attributes for the
target form, or for a block, tab, field, or DFF on the form.
2.
In the Block/Tab and Field Name fields, select the component whose type
you identified in the previous step:
° If you selected the Form type, leave both fields blank
