The Current Rule > General tab (- ) shows the details of the currently selected rule. Here you can change the rule’s name, write in a comment and specify the source and target types, Status and Validation setting. The remaining information cannot be edited.
Figure 1 - Example of the Current Rule > General tab
The properties and fields are as follows:
- Source Type - select the type of source the rule is to use. The screen layout for the Source tab depends on the type selected.
- Target Type - select the type of target the rule is to use. The screen layout for the Target tab depends on the type selected.
- Status - select the required status for the rule. The options are:
- Enabled – select to allow the rule to be run “as required”. This is the default setting.
- Disabled – select this option if you wish to prevent the rule from being run. This could be useful if you have a recurring task, and wish to stop using this rule in that task for a period but do not wish to change the task permanently.
- Created Date - the date the rule was created.
- Created By - the user name of the person who created the rule.
Note: If Source Type is set to Survey Data and the Target Type is set to Delimited Text File, or vice versa, then in the event the user has the necessary permissions, they can execute the rule as a different user. The Execute as Other User field is then available below the Created By information (go to Executing Rules as Other User for more information).
Important
If you select "Forsta Survey Data", and "Columns" or "Survey Data Template" in the Columns options, in both the Source and Target tabs, then Validation Setting options will become available on the Source tab (go to Validation Rules for more information).
