Target Design

Assign the Complex Rule to a Target Field and Execution Stage

After a Complex rule has been created it can be assigned to a Target field. Refer to Add a Complex Rule for more information.

Complex rules provide information that the Data Services developer uses when writing the rule. When an AutoGen request is processed, a placeholder where complex rules can be developed is created.

Refer to Data Services AutoGen for more information.

When assigning a complex rule to a Target field, an execution stage must also be assigned. Execution stages allow rules to be grouped for different execution levels. Refer to Add an Execution Stage for more information. Individual Complex rules do not have a priority set in Target Design.

Complex rules can be assigned to a Target field on the Rules: Field Complex Rules page.

NOTE: Complex rules can only be assigned to fields when the Target Design Status is In Design.
