Rule designer elements

Rule designer provides a drag-and-drop feature of elements that you can use to create a business rule. These elements are available in the Palette section of the Rule designer user interface.

Important

Application business analysts can customize the objects developed in their own applications and that are marked customizable by the administrator, but cannot customize the objects developed in com.bmc.arsys in Best Practice Customization mode. For example, objects in core BMC applications like Foundation, Approval, and Assignment cannot be customized in Best Practice Customization mode. For more information, see Customization-layer.
