Oracle® Insurance Rules Palette
The Fields pane is used to create fields that will display in the OIPA application. Drag and drop fields from the DataDictionary or use the SearchPalette window to add new fields. The DataDictionary can also be used to search for existing fields that may be used.
If a new field needs to be created, use the Palette, as it contains all the available fields for screen configuration. The Palette is included in the SearchPalette window. The Palette will automatically open when a transaction is checked out.
The Fields pane has a left and right column where fields can be placed. Drag a field to the left side of the pane to occupy the left column, or drag the field to the right side of the pane to occupy the right column. Fields can be expanded across both columns when the Expanded property is added to the field through the Field Properties window. Filler fields can also be added to provide a blank space to the layout. Fields will display in OIPA as they appear on the Fields pane.
Fields can be commented out using the Comment button at the top of the Fields pane. Once a field has been commented out, it can be uncommented using the Uncomment button.

Check out a transaction.
Click the Fields pane in the Configuration Area. The SearchPalette window should open on the side of the screen. If it does not, click Window on the Main Menu and select Open Search Palette Window. This window holds all the available field types.
Click one of the field types and drag it into the Configuration Area. The new field will appear with a generic field name, such as Field 1.
Click on the name of the new field, which will highlight it in blue. This will open the FieldProperties Window so the field can be configured. If the FieldProperties Window does not open, click Window on the Main Menu and select Open FieldProperties Window.
Click inside a field property in the FieldProperties Window and type the field information.
Any field with the Required property set to Yes, will appear in OIPA with an asterisk. This lets the user know the field must contain a value. Make sure to add any error message text to the translation table when configuring required fields.
Check in the transaction when finished.

The Fields pane supports the ability to cut, copy and paste fields. Fields can be pasted into either the same business rule from which they were cut/copied, or into the Fields pane of a different rule.
Actions within the Fields pane can be undone by using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-Z.
If a field needs to be deleted, select the field and click the Delete button at the top of the Fields pane. This will remove the field from the Fields pane and also remove the XML from the XML Source pane. Multiple fields can be deleted by using the Ctrl key to make multiple selections before clicking Remove. Alternately, the XML can be removed directly from the XML Source pane.
