Correlation Data (Update Standard Rule)

Edit online

The Update standard rule correlation data function enables you to record document-specific correlation parameters during translation. These correlation parameters are attached to the translated document. You can then use the Correlation Search user interface to locate the translated document using the criteria you specified in the map through the Update standard rule. This function saves you time, because you would otherwise need to locate the translated document by reviewing the results from a Central search query.

Using the Correlation Data Update standard rule, the Correlation service in a business process, or the Correlation Search interface you can, for example, retrieve all MaxxMart invoices or find out what happened to purchase order number 12345.

The Correlation service, which enables you to specify detailed search criteria that the translator then uses to search for and display the documents that match your criteria, is used to create business process-level correlations from information in Process Data.

The following list describes the fields on the Standard Rule tab with the Update standard rule selected and Correlation Data selected from the Table (or group) list:

Field: Description
Table (or group): Specifies the Correlation Data function.
correlation parameter name: The unique name of the correlation name-value pair.
Column (or field): Correlation Value.

Note: The CORRELATIONDATA table may contain more than one instance of the same name/value pair, but each instance will be associated with a unique object ID. Name/value pairs must be unique per document (object ID).
