Application DesignRun Another Business Rule

Run Another Business Rule allows you to use triggers configured in a business rule to run specific components or component sets.

The following are the properties for Run Another Business Rule.

Important! Content in an action or rule is case sensitive.

Value Description

Name

The name for the action or rule.

Trigger Source

The field that is used in conjunction with a trigger event to interactively run the rule. For example, a button that runs a query when clicked, a prompt that runs a query when submitted, or a form that runs a query when loaded.

Trigger Event

The event that is used in conjunction with the trigger source to run the rule. For example, clicking a button, entering text at a prompt, loading a form, or submitting a job.

Timer (in seconds)

If onTimer is selected for Trigger Event, specify how often to re-run the business rule in seconds between 1 and 300.

Tip: Avoid adding multiple onTimer triggers with short timer periods, as this may prevent users from being able to manipulate fields on the form.

Repeat Timer?

If onTimer is selected for Trigger Event:

: Allow the timer to restart and re-run the business rule at the specified interval.

: Prevent the timer from restarting and do not re-run the business rule.

Priority

The order in which the rules that have otherwise identical triggers are run. Trigger values are compared only if the triggers have the same trigger source, trigger event, and trigger key (if any). The type of trigger source is irrelevant. The trigger source with the lowest value for priority is run first.

Conditional

Determine whether to perform an action based on the result of a comparison of values or the result of a logical operation.

The check box is available to select after the object has been saved for the first time. For more information, see Relative Paths.
