Rule Details Dialog Box
The Rule Details dialog box enables you to specify one or more events for a business rule. If you want to use events for data monitoring, you can specify dashboard options such as weight, threshold, or dimension. For more information about specifying events and dashboard options for a business rule, see Creating a Rule that Compares Two Fields.
The Events area of the dialog box enables you to maintain events for the rule that was selected in the Task Properties dialog box.
- To add an event, click Add to display the Add Event dialog box. Use the control in that box to select an event. For a description of the events that you can select, see Overview of Monitoring Events. After you select an event, you are prompted to supply additional information for that event, such as the path to a text file for an event that writes exceptions to a file.
- To edit an event, select the event and click Edit to display the Event Properties dialog box. A list of available fields is displayed. These are fields that were defined in the Business Rule Manager for the current repository. Use the arrow controls to select appropriate fields for the current event.
The Dashboard options area enables you to maintain a weight, threshold, or dimension for the rule that was selected in the Task Properties dialog box.
Weight - A number that can be used to increase or decrease the impact of a rule on an exception score. The default is 1. Accept the default or enter a higher or lower number in this field.
Threshold - A word or phrase that is used to classify the status of an exception score. For example, you could have three thresholds, Low, Medium, and High, that would add meaning to certain ranges of values. Use the down arrow to select an existing threshold. Use the Add and Edit buttons to maintain thresholds.
Dimension - A dimension is used to group similar rules together. For example, you might have a dimension called Accuracy that groups a set of rules that check the accuracy of data. You might have another dimension called Completeness that groups a set of rules that check the completeness of data. Use the down arrow to select an existing dimension. Use the Add button to add a dimension.
