Edit Statement Rules

Use the editor to create your statement rule.

Go to the Edit Configurator Model page, then use the Rules tab.

• Use the tree on the Rules pane to access and manage the rules that you define. Examine the icons to quickly get a picture of your rules' statuses.

• In the Structure section, select your model's node, then click Insert into Rule Text to insert a reference to your model's node directly in your rule's text.

Here are some of the editor's features that you might find useful.

There's an error that's preventing the rule from compiling and running, or the rule has a syntax error. Valid. The rule is valid, and you can compile it and test it.
