Generic and item-specific rules
You can design generic rules or rules targeted to a specific form and item:
- Generic rule design enables you to use the same rule script for multiple items on multiple forms. Additionally, you can pass different sets of arguments to parameters in a rule script for each item with which the rule is associated. This type of rule design is especially useful for tests such as range checks, which may be suited to many types of items in many contexts.
- For more complex checks and calculations, you can hard-code values and references to controls in a rule script and apply the rule to one specific item, form, and visit occurrence.
