Express Mode in VB Studio

Redwood applications leverage Express mode in VB Studio to empower your business users to configure processes and ensure data quality. Express mode has 2 key components: Business Rules and Page Properties.

• Business Rules includes these sub components:
  • Configure Fields and Regions is used to:
    • Leverage delivered best practices, or to create your own rules based on various criteria, such as country and business unit.
    • Make fields and regions required or optional, read-only or editable, and show or hide fields and regions depending on specific criteria.
    • Default field values.
  • Validate Field Values is used to ensure data quality.
• Page Properties are used to configure Redwood pages to best fit your business needs, for example, hide the evaluation panel in Connections.

Note that default field values and validate field values rules aren't mutually exclusive and can be used both for the same fields to ensure data quality and consistency while improving the user experience. Likewise, defaulting rules and rules to control the display of fields and regions can be combined such as defaulting a date and making the field read-only.

To learn about key terms and concepts in Express mode, refer to the VB Studio documentation.

Note: If Express mode isn’t available, that means the page isn’t ready to be extended in this release.
