How You Use Flow Charts in Rule Designer

View rules and templates, and the components they include, in a flow chart within the Rule Designer. When you open a rule, move among the components, for example, formulas, ranges, and loops, by selecting them in the flow chart.

Increase or decrease the size of the flow chart to view or hide details of the components.

When you select a component in the flow chart, its properties, usages, and other information are displayed in tabs. As you move among the components, the tabs change. For example, if you open an allocation rule and select the formula component in the flow chart the following properties are displayed:

• Properties of the formula, such as name, description, application, and application type to which the formula belongs

• Usages of the formula, such as which rules and templates the formula is used in.

• Text of the formula, such as the variables, members, and functions, that are displayed in the tabs.
