The header at the top of the app shows the name of the rule type selected in the sidebar and provides you with a health check of the back-end components that enable the functionality in the Rules Editor app. If ACC determines that the component is performing as expected, the header shows a green label for the component. If a problem is detected, the component might appear as yellow or red, depending on the severity of the issue. For more information, see Reviewing Rules Editor App Status Information.

The Rules Engine pill can also be used for pausing and resuming event processing in the Rules Engine. See Pausing and Resuming Rules Engine Event Processing.

The Triggers section shows all triggers that can be added to the rule. When you click on a trigger card, the trigger is added to the rule and shown in the Define Rule panel under TRIGGER. Once you added a trigger to a rule, all triggers are disabled in the ITEMS tab. If you want to add another trigger to a rule, you first have to delete the currently assigned trigger from the rule.

The Entities section shows all entities that can be added to the rule. When you click on an entity card, the entity is added to the rule and shown in the Define Rule panel under ENTITY. Once you added an entity to a rule, all entities are disabled in the ITEMS tab. If you want to add another entity to a rule, you first have to delete the currently assigned entity from the rule.

When you create a new rule, the Define Rule panel provides placeholders for the items you can add to the rule: TRIGGER, ENTITY, ACTION. You add an item to the Define Rule panel by clicking on it in the ITEMS tab. The placeholder is then replaced by the name of the added item; only for ACTION an additional placeholder is displayed.

For any added Action, a warning icon will appear, for an Entity the icon might appear. When you hover the cursor over the warning icon, a tool-tip informs you which required configuration step in the Details panel still needs to be done.

When you select an item in the Define Rule panel its details (conditions and properties) are shown in the Details panel.

If you want to replace an already added item, you first need to remove the initial item: hover the cursor over the item and click the Trash icon that is shown. After that, click on the item you want to add in the ITEMS tab.

Each Condition is shown as a collapsible/expandible section, a warning icon might be shown to the right side (a tool-tip shows the reason for the warning). When you hover the cursor over the header of a condition, Move up/Move down and Delete condition buttons are shown.

The reordering of conditions has two purposes:

• In some cases, re-ordering might provide a better overview about the conditions.

• Conditions that are not based on properties from the change event and hence have to be queried from the underlying system should be placed at the end. This can reduce the load to the system and increase the performance.

The following controls are shown for all conditions:

• Attribute

• Comparison Operator

Depending on the selected Attribute and Comparison Operator, the following controls might vary or be not shown at all:

• Match buttons (Any, All)

• additional input controls, depending on the selected Comparison Operator
