Configuration Area

The Configuration Area allows you to create and modify configurations.  The contents of the area will change depending on the type of configuration you are performing.  The buttons across the top are called panes and correspond to each section of configuration for that rule.  By selecting a pane, the Configuration Area displays configuration tools for that particular section.  

You can visually configure using drag and drop features and selection options, or you can configure in XML.  You are only provided with configuration tools that are relevant for the type of business rule that you are editing.  The Configuration Area provides panes where you do all of your configuration whether using the visual editing tools available in the Rules Palette or using straight XML.

In order to edit in this pane, the rule must be checked-out.  If the rule is not checked-out, the information is available for viewing but not for editing.
