Predictive text in the Rule editor

Rule developers can now reduce coding efforts using predictive text in the rule editor.

Oracle provides rule helper functions to facilitate the creation of custom rules. A new predictive text feature is available to help rule developers work with the existing helper functions, as well as suggest variable names and some standard JavaScript syntax. As you type in your expression, this feature provides a list of suggestions, including helper functions along with a brief description, which gets narrowed as you type to include only relevant functions matching the entered text. You can then go through the list and select a helper function to add to your expression. The added functions include the correct syntax with placeholders for you to complete the required parameters.

Using the predictive text to review and enter helper functions, variables and standard syntax can help you reduce your coding efforts. By letting you have all the rule helper functions at hand, along with their purpose and correct syntax, you can get an overview of how you can simplify your rule logic with the available helper functions and make sure you use them correctly.

You can find additional information about custom rules and rule helper functions in the Rules Developer Guide after the Release Assessment Environment (RAE) upgrade.
