MultiFields Element

Description

A set of fields that can be repeated is called MultiField. MultiFields enable and allow Screen and Transaction configuration with multiple sets of dynamic field values. To use MultiField in a business rule or transaction, it has to be first defined using a MultiField business rule. It can then be used by screen displaying business rules with the <MultiField> element. For detailed information about configuring MultiFields, refer to "MultiField Configuration" in the Rules Palette Help.
