Java CAPS Business Rules Method Palette Overview

The Method Palette displays a menu of methods that you can incorporate into your process models to manipulate data in a variety of ways. These methods are grouped logically by the type of function performed. By default, not all methods appear in the Method Palette menus. To view complete lists of operators for each type, click Settings from any of the Method Palette menus. The Method Palette dialog appears, and you can select and deselect functions to indicate which functions should appear in each menu.

To display a method on the Business Rule Designer canvas, click the menu containing the method you want to use and then click the method name or symbol. A method box appears on the canvas, and you can then map the input and output values for the method.

For most of the methods, you can either drag an object from the attributes tree to the method box to enter a value into a parameter, or you can right click a parameter in the method box to add a literal value directly into the box.
