Simple Editor Mode

Use the simple editor mode to define simple business rules without having to write any PBL code.

To edit a business rule:

  1. To add a condition, select one of the available project variables or business parameters from the Add Condition drop-down list.
  2. Click the Add button (Add icon 
				). A new condition line is added.
  3. Select a comparison operator from the first drop-down list. The following table shows the full set of possible operators, but only a subset of these will be available based on the data type of the variable or parameter you are comparing:
    Operator Equivalent PBL Expression
    Equals x = a
    Not Equals x != a
    Greater Than x > a
    Less Than x < a
    Greater Than or Equals To x >= a
    Less Than or Equals To x <= a
    Between (x >= a and x <= b)
    Not Between (a > x or x > b)
  4. Enter the value that will be compared to in the field on the right. Special options can appear for some data types. For example, a time value field will be accompanied by a calendar tool to help you pick a date. If you are using the Between or Not Between operators, you will need to enter two values.
  5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 to add more conditions as required.
  6. If you wish to remove a condition, click the Remove button (Remove icon 
				) next to it.
  7. Once you have set all the conditions in your business rule, save your changes by clicking the Save button (Save button 
				), or by clicking File > Save from the main menu.
