Filter Rule Naming Information

The filter rule information area is where you define the filter rule.

Naming standards can be applied to system elements. Naming standards allow for a uniform naming structure to be applied to system elements and programs. Naming standards include prefixes or suffixes attached to the element and for case enforcement to be applied to any newly created element or any existing elements that are being edited. If a naming standard is in place, the pattern is displayed in the element name field. If the naming standard is required, an error message is presented if the entry does not meet the required pattern. This is an optional feature and may not be presented for all elements.

Screen Details

Filter Rule Name:Entry for what you want the filter rule to be called. Alphanumeric characters are permitted with limited special characters (ex: &, *, ", +, @, etc.). Please see Restrictions for more information. If a naming standard is in place, a naming pattern is displayed in the name field. If the naming standard is mandatory, an error message is presented if your entry does not follow the pattern. Correct your entry and try again.

Working Category: Sets the category where this filter rule will be run. For example, if you have an auto test case with three vehicles, and a filter rule to only run a table search when the vehicle is less than three years old, the vehicle category may be run three times or just once depending on the age of the vehicle.

You can select the working category from the drop down menu or you can browse for a working category by clicking BROWSE. This brings up the Browse Category window. From here you can navigate to the Category you want. Once you have selected the category, click OK. The category auto fills in the working category section.

The Working Category determines the options displayed in the Available Variables area. For example, if you select Policy as the Working Category, then the menu choices in the Available Variables area will be Constants, Step Variables, and Policy Fields. If you select Vehicle, the options will now include Vehicle Fields along with Constants, Step Variables, Policy Fields, Policy Variables and Policy Results.
