Rule Specification Properties
The rule specification properties include the name and description that you entered when you saved the rule specification. The properties also determine the maximum length of the output data values.
You can edit the properties in the Design workspace after you save the rule specification. To open the properties, click the top-level shape in the rule specification. The Analyst tool displays the properties on a series of views in the workspace.
The following table describes the views that you can configure on a rule specification:
- General
- Use the general properties to update the rule specification name and description.
- Rule Properties
- Use the rule properties to specify a maximum character length for each row of output data.
- The rule specification applies the following default values to each row of output data:
- - Maximum string length. Determines the maximum length for text data. Default is 100.
- - Maximum number length. Determines the maximum length for numeric data. Default is 10.
- - Number of decimal places. Determines the number of decimal places to include for decimal places. Default is 4.
- Test
- Use the test options to verify that data flows through the rule specification in the ways that you expect. You can test a rule specification, and you can test any rule set in the rule specification.
- Enter sample data to test a rule specification or a rule set. When you save the rule specification, you save the sample data that you entered.
