Automatic context and dependency creation
When you attach a rule to an item as described in the previous sections, the InForm Architect application creates, along with the context definition, an Applied dependency definition for the item to which you attached the rule:
- If you create a Generic Form context, the InForm Architect application creates a single dependency whose path is a RefName path with a 0 in the visit position.
- If you create a Generic Item context, the InForm Architect application creates a single dependency whose path contains the keyword Generic_Item and the RefName of the item to which it is attached.
- If you create a Specific Visit context for multiple visits, or if you attach the same rule to multiple items, the InForm Architect application creates contexts and dependencies for each applicable visit, form, section, and item combination.
These context and dependency definitions are visible in the Rule Profile tab of the Rule window. To see the dependency definitions for a context, expand the context definition by clicking the plus sign to the left of the context icon.
