You create a Rulesheet file just like you create a Vocabulary file. A Rulesheet file has the extension .ers.

Note: A Rulesheet file must be linked to a Vocabulary file. When you create a Rulesheet file, you create it for a rule project. If a Vocabulary exists in the same rule project (before you create the Rulesheet file), Corticon Studio and Corticon.js links it to the Rulesheet, by default.

Follow these steps to create a Rulesheet file:

  1. In Corticon Studio, select File > New > Rulesheet.
  2. In the Create New Rulesheet wizard:
    1. In the File name field, type a name for the Rulesheet.
    2. In the Enter or select the parent folder field, specify the rule project or folder in which the Rulesheet must be created.
    3. Click Finish.

The newly created Rulesheet file appears in the Project Explorer view. The Rulesheet also opens by default in the Rulesheet editor. In addition, the Rule Vocabulary view and the Rule Statements view become active.
