Rule properties

Properties associate additional information with a project element, including the development status, storage location, and user group.

The properties are displayed in the Properties tab next to the project element.

To edit the properties, click Details in the edit view of the project element. If you have the correct permissions, you can change the properties.

Before you change the properties in a project, make sure that your development team implements the use of properties. Otherwise, your changes might not be used.

Note:

You might have project properties that are specific to your business domain.

The following table shows the default properties:

Property Description
Name The name of the project.
Folder Set the location of the element within the project.
Status Set the status of a rule, for example:
  • New
  • Defined
  • Validated
  • Rejected
  • Deployable
Categories Select a category for the project element. The default category is Any. Categories can be used to filter rules in queries.
Active Set to Yes when the rule is active. Set to No when the rule is not used.
Group Associate the rule with a specific group. The Group property is used by the administrator to establish permissions to view, edit, create, and delete project elements.
Priority Set the priority of the rule to define the order in which rules are run.
Effective Date Specify the date on which the rule goes into effect.
Expiration Date Specify the date on which the rule expires.
