Rule Types

The following rule types are available:

• View

  Used primarily to activate or deactivate fields depending on certain attribute values. Triggered when an editor gets opened.

• Validation

  Used for input data validation. Specifies a condition which is checked when an attempt to save an object into the database is made. If the condition is not met, then the object is not saved and a warning message gets displayed.

• Calculation

  Specifies when a calculation is triggered. All calculations created in the Calculation Customizer need to be linked to a rule to take effect.

• Action GUI

  Special rule type containing only a condition for running a specific action. Used mainly to enable and disable actions in Valuemation catalogs and editors, rule triggering is based on the catalog or editor state.

• Action Object

  Used to enable or disable actions in Valuemation catalogs and editors. Similar to 'Action GUI' rules but rule triggering is based on a combination of object type and condition, rather than on the catalog or editor state.

• Starts an Action

  Used to trigger an existing action which has been defined in the Action Customizer. If the rule condition is fulfilled, the action is launched.
