New Attribute Rule dialog box

The New Attribute Rule dialog box enables you to add a rule for the display and updating of the selected attribute that applies to a specified transition and role.

There is a check box: keep_open_checkbox00037.gif at the top of the dialog to enable you to continue adding more rules without dismissing the dialog box.

NOTE  If you are defining a rule for an attribute within a multi-field, multi-value block, you need to ensure that, for a given role section and transition, all of the preceding attributes in the multi-field block will also be visible to the user. This means that for all the preceding attributes in the block, if you have not selected Required when actioned to the To state or Writeable at the From state, you will need to select Display in this role section. This is so that the multi-field multi-value attribute will be displayed correctly in the desktop and web clients.
