The Rule Set page lists the rule "instances" for a business rule, their execution order, and associated templates for that rule set.

From the Rule Set page you can browse or edit an existing rule instance using the templates, create a new rule instance from a selected template, specify the execution order of the rules, rename a rule or rule set, browse or edit a rule set display name or rule in a rule set, browse or edit a rule set or rule description or description of a template parameter, save the rule set as a working copy, or delete a rule.

The page-specific information sections of the content area include the following elements.

Rules section

This section provides a list of associated rules with the following information:

Name: Provides the name of the rule. This field is visible in edit mode only.
Display Name: Provides the display name of the rule. It is set to the Name value if a display name was not specified. It is read-only in the browse mode and editable in the edit mode. The display name can be any string value and can include special characters. It does not need to be unique. Selecting the Synchronize Name check box in the Action field synchronizes the display name with the corresponding name.
Rule: Lists the variables, constraints, range, and enumeration that defines the rule.
Description: Provides more information about each rule in the rule set. It is read only in the browse mode and editable in the edit mode.
Action: Enables reordering rules, deleting rules, and synchronizing the display name with the name by clicking the associated buttons. The actions are available in the edit mode only.

Templates section

This section facilitates creating a new rule in the edit mode using an existing template and includes fields for specifying the following information for the rule:

Template Name: Provides the name of the existing template.
Name: Provides a text area for entering and modifying the name of the rule.
Display Name: Provides a text area for entering the display name of the rule. It is set to the Name value if a display name is not specified. The display name can be any string value and can include special characters. It does not need to be unique. Selecting the Synchronize Name check box synchronizes the display name with the name value of the rule. The new name goes into effect on all pages of the business process rules manager when you save the changes made in the edit page.
Note: If the Synchronize Name check box is selected, the display name of the rule is disabled and cannot be modified.
