Display Rule

This section describes the fields on the Display Rule tab.

Indicate whether there is a display rule for the data item. Display rules are used to format the data in a field. Choose from the following Display Rule options:

No Display Rule

Select this option if you are not assigning a display rule to the data item.

Business Function

Select this option to assign a display rule which is based on a business function. Use a business function when you need special processing that cannot be done through one of the five pre-defined Display Rules. For example, if you want to format the appearance of an account number, attach the Display Account Number business function.

When you select the Business Function option, a Browse button becomes available. Use the Browse button to access the Business Function Search form, which enables you to locate and select a business function for the display rule.
