Specification

A specification represents a small processing unit performed by one or more actors for a given case type within an application. A single specification may correspond to an entire process, a single flow action, a screen flow, an activity with the May Start? option enabled or the New harness of a flow.

Typically, specifications are entered into an application profile using the Application Profiler, created by the Application Accelerator, and made available for update as instances of Rule-Application-UseCase rules as a project evolves.

Specifications also are referenced in application rules, flows, activities and flow actions.

In PRPC releases before V6.2 SP2, the rule instances for specifications were known as use case rules.

See the PDN articles listed under the Implementation Methodology knowledge category for more information.
