Setting Business Rule Properties

You can specify whether business rules associated with data forms launch automatically when users open or save the data form. If business rules have runtime prompts, you can set whether the default members in the runtime prompt match the members selected in the page and POV axes.

  To set business rule properties:

  1. Take an action:

    • To update the current data form, click Business Rules.

    • To open a data form for editing, click Edit, and then click Business Rules.

  2. Click Properties in the Business Rules tab.

  3. Select Run on Load next to a business rule to launch it automatically when the data form is opened.

    Business rules having runtime prompts cannot launch on load.

  4. Select Run on Save next to a business rule to launch it automatically when saving a data form.

    If business set to Run on Save contain runtime prompts, users are prompted to enter the runtime prompt value before the data form is saved.

  5. Optional: If a business rule has runtime prompts, select Use Members on Data Form to match the default member selection on the runtime prompt window to the current members in the page and POV axes of the open data form.

    To learn how this option interacts with other settings and conditions, see Understanding Runtime Prompts.

  6. Optional: To hide the runtime prompt value from the user, select Hide Prompt, which automatically selects Use Members on Data Form.

    After saving the data form, the next time you return to this page, Use Members on Data Form displays as selected.

    You can hide runtime prompts if:

    • All runtime prompt member values are filled in (appropriate dimension members can be read from data form's Page/POV)

    • No dimensions are repeated in the runtime prompt

  7. Click OK.
