Specify Sequences for Defaults and Search Decisions

Autocomplete applies default rules and search decision rules according to the sequence that you specify in your rule.

Oracle Configurator will assign a sequence number and place the rule at the end of the rule's list.

Assume you have five rules in the Default class. If you create a new rule in the Default class, then Configurator sets the sequence number for the new rule to 6 and displays it at the end of the list of default rules.

You can modify the sequence that Configurator uses when it applies your rules at run time:

1. Go to the Configurator Models work area, then open the Rules tab.
2. Click Reorder Default Rules or click Reorder Search Decision Rules.
3. Click an arrow to move your rule up or down.
4. Click Save.

If your rule applies to more than one model or to more than one participant, then Configurator might not apply the rule in the sequence that you specify. Configurator will use the sequence of the set of rules that apply to the same combination of models or instances.

However, Configurator will apply the rules as a group after it applies all the rule's participants, and after it applies all of the rules that are in the class that you set up in various instances of the same combination of models or instances.
