Creating Serialization Rule Records
Perform the following procedure to create new serialization rules. To create a serialization rule
- Navigate to the Administration - Case screen, then the Serialization Rules view.
- In the Serialization Rules list, create a new record, and complete the fields as appropriate.
The following table describes some of the fields.
|
|
Name |
Type the name of the rule. |
Business Object |
Select the business object on which the rule is based. |
Business Component |
Select the business component containing the fields on which the rule is based. |
- Scroll down to the Attributes list, and create a new record.
NOTE: Because serial numbers can contain a maximum of 100 characters, do not include any large text fields as one of the attributes.
The following table describes some of the fields.
|
|
Sequence |
Type a number that controls the attribute sequence in the generated serial number. For example, 1 indicates that the selected attribute appears first in the serial number. |
Type |
Select the type of attribute. Values include constants, parent serial numbers, and fields. For more information about selecting the appropriate attribute types, see Serialization Rule Attribute Types. |
Business Component |
Displays the name of the business component that you select in the Serialization Rules list. |
Field Name |
If you select a value of Field in the Type field, then select a field name. The values that you can select depend on the value in the Business Component field. |
Constant Value |
If you select a value of Constant in the Type field, then type a value for the constant. For more information, see Serialization Rule Attribute Types. |
- Repeat Step 3 until you define all the attributes required for the serial number.
NOTE: The last attribute in the sequence is generally a field value that is a unique number so that each serial number is unique.
