Manage legislation and other source material

Legislation and other source material can be contained within the Oracle Policy Modeling project to make it easy to access and refer to these documents while working on a project. These documents should be kept in their original unchanged format, and the in-scope content from them copied and pasted into separate rule document files for processing into Oracle Policy Modeling rules.

Add a source document to a project

Source documents should be contained in a separate folder in the project, ideally in the Documents/Source folder. To add a document to this folder:

  1. In the Project Explorer in Oracle Policy Modeling, select the Documents/Source folder, then right-click and select Add Existing File...
  2. In the Add Existing File dialog box, browse to the file that you want to add. Then click Open.
    NOTE: You can only add Word, Excel or PDF files to your project.

The file will now appear in the Project Explorer in Oracle Policy Modeling and can be opened in its own application by double-clicking it.

Exclude a source file from the build

Source documents should be excluded from the build. To do this:

  1. In the Project Explorer in Oracle Policy Modeling, select the source file.
  2. Right-click and select Properties...
  3. In the Properties dialog box, clear the Include document in build checkbox. Then click OK.

The document icon will now be shown with a red line in the bottom right hand corner in the Project Explorer to indicate that the document is not included in the build.
