Business Rules

Tailor a seamless experience for the users in your enterprise using Oracle Visual Builder Studio in Express mode.

You can use business rules in Oracle Visual Builder Studio (VB Studio) Express mode to:

Make the fields and regions on a page required or optional.
Make the fields and regions on a page read-only or editable.
Show or hide fields and regions depending on specific criteria.
Configure Redwood pages to best meet your specific business needs. For example, you can control which actions are visible on the Receipt Deliveries page, or you can set the default date range that's available on the PAR Counts Overview page.

The types of changes you can make to a page depend on the page you're modifying.

To determine whether you can extend a specific page using VB Studio, go to the page and open the Setting and Actions menu. Look for the Edit Page In Visual Builder Studio task:

If you don’t see the Edit Page in Visual Builder Studio task, then you can’t use VB Studio to edit the page, either because you're not assigned the necessary privilege to edit pages in VB Studio, or because the page can't currently be edited in VB Studio.

When you open a page in VB Studio, use only the Express mode to extend the page. Advanced mode isn’t supported. If Express mode isn't available when you open the page in VB Studio, then you can't extend the page in VB Studio. You can find the Express mode in the VB Studio header region:
