Records can be created in various ways. You can add a brand new record to your application or copy an existing one. Existing rules can be specialized by creating a copy into a specific ruleset, against a different class or (in some cases) with a set of circumstance definitions. Data instances may be copied but do not support specialization as they are not versioned.

Based on your use case, the Create, Save As or Specialization form is used to create the record. The number of fields and available options vary by record type. Start by familiarizing yourself with the generic layout of these forms and their common fields:

• Completing the Create form
• Completing the Save As form
• Completing the Specialization form

This help topic then identifies the key parts and options that are applicable to the record type you are creating.

Create a case type rule by selecting Case Type from the Process category.

Key parts:

A case type rule has two key parts:

Field Description Apply to Select the name of a Work- class. The list of available class names may depend on the ruleset you select. Each class may restrict rules applying to that class to an explicit set of rulesets as specified on the Advanced tab of the class form. If the Apply to class is derived from Work-Cover-, the rule enables you to specify work types, including covers, that can be used as covered objects. You can also use the aggregation feature to sum numerical properties shared by the cover and covered objects. Identifier pyDefault. Cannot be edited. There can be only one instance in the Apply to class. You can create circumstanced versions using the Case Designer.

In Federated Case Management configurations, for any cases to be viewed or processed remotely, you must use the Case Designer on each system in the federation to create abstract remote case types and case type rules. See Case Type rules - Completing the Advanced tab. Be careful not to delete the rules.

Rule resolution

When searching for instances of this rule type, the system uses full rule resolution which:

• Filters candidate rules based on a requestor's ruleset list of rulesets and versions
• Searches through ancestor classes in the class hierarchy for candidates when no matching rule is found in the starting class
• Finds circumstance-qualified rules that override base rules
• Finds time-qualified rules that override base rule
