You must explicitly link each rule statement with its rule. To link a rule statement with its rule, enter the number of the rule column in the rule statement’s Ref cell. If you only want to document the rule, you do not need to configure any other properties.
If you want to post the rule statement as part of the output message, configure the following properties:
- Post—Enables you to indicate the severity of the rule violation. You can select from three levels—Info, Warning, and Violation. Note that these severity levels are user-defined and have no special meaning in Corticon. You can define them to match your requirements.
- Alias—Enables the Vocabulary entity in the rule condition that you want displayed with the output message when there is a rule violation.
For more information, see Rule statements window.
After you link a rule statement with a rule, when you select the rule statement in the Rule Statements view, the corresponding rule column is highlighted in orange. Similarly, if you select a cell or a group of cells within the rule column, the corresponding rule statement is highlighted in orange, indicating that the rule statement and the rule are linked.
