Looking at a Graphical Picture of a Rule, Component, or Template

Rules, components, and templates are displayed graphically in a flow chart within the Rule Designer and the Template Designer.

When you open a rule or template, you can select its components (for example, formulas, scripts, conditions, ranges, and loops) in the flow chart to see details. You can also increase or decrease the size of the flow chart to view or hide component details.

When you select a component in a flow chart, its properties, uses, and other information are displayed in tabs below the flow chart. As you move among the components, the tabs below the flow chart change.

For example, if you open a business rule that contains a formula component and a script component, and select the formula component in the flow chart, the properties of the formula (name, description, application and application type) are displayed in the tabs below the flow chart. If you then select the script component in the flow chart, the text, properties, and usages of the script component are displayed in the tabs below the flow chart.
