11 Working with Behaviors

Behaviors provide a way to exercise greater control over validation and presentation of order data to Oracle Communications Order and Service Management (OSM) web client users. Each behavior type lets you dynamically control a specific aspect of your order data model.

Behaviors can be created for manual tasks only. They can be created at the data element level (most general), the order level (more specific), or the task level (most specific). After the behavior is created, you can model the actions you want it to perform through its properties settings.

When modeling behaviors, see the following topics for more information:
