Zone and style settings are used together to restrict rule
results promoted to users.
As discussed in Dynamic business rule constructs, the records identified
by a rule's target are candidates for promotion and may or may not all be
promoted in a Web application. It is a combination of zone and style settings
that work together to effectively restrict which rule results are actually
promoted to application users.
- A zone identifies a
collection of rules to ensure at least one rule always produces records to
promote. For information on zones, see Ensuring promoted records are always
produced.
- A style controls the minimum
and maximum number of results to display, defines any property templates, and
indicates how to display the rule results to the Web application. For more
information on styles, see Creating a style.
Note: Fully implementing this feature requires additional work outside of
Developer Studio. Please refer to the
Endeca Advanced Development Guide as well as the Endeca Workbench Help system for details.
