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 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.
