The rule language is used to specify rules, queries, tags and other configuration elements. The rule language is simple and intuitive and, unlike traditional programming languages does not require special software development skills. text/html 2022-09-13T18:15:22+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://www.awareim.com/dokuwiki/docs/3000_rule_language/0200_rule_language?rev=1663092922&do=diff manuals rule_language Conventions * Everywhere in this document “business object” also implies “business object groups”, unless explicitly stated otherwise. * The syntax of the Rule Language expressions is specified using the BNF notation. Some of the constructs of the BNF notation are explained below: text/html 2022-09-13T18:15:22+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://www.awareim.com/dokuwiki/docs/3000_rule_language/0300_rule_language?rev=1663092922&do=diff manuals rule_language Rule Definition Rule is defined as follows: IF (RuleCondition) THEN ActionList ELSE ActionList where RuleCondition defines one or more conditions that have to hold true before the specified ActionList is executed. IF and ELSE statements are optional, so it is possible to have a rule which only has action statement(s) – such rules are called unconditional rules. It is also possible to include IF statement within ELSE: text/html 2025-06-12T03:59:34+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://www.awareim.com/dokuwiki/docs/3000_rule_language/0400_rule_language?rev=1749700774&do=diff manuals rule_language Rule Condition The formal definition of the 'RuleCondition' in the BNF notation is: PredicateExpression () ( "OR" PredicateExpression() | "AND" PredicateExpression() )* In other words the 'RuleCondition' represents one or more Predicate expressions text/html 2022-09-13T18:15:22+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://www.awareim.com/dokuwiki/docs/3000_rule_language/0500_rule_language?rev=1663092922&do=diff manuals rule_language Actions * ADD OFFLINE DATA * Assignment action * CLEAN * CLEAR CONTEXT * CLEAR OFFLINE DATA * CLOSE TAB * COMMIT TRANSACTION * CONNECT TO EMAIL * COPY FILE * CREATE * CREATE BUCKET * DELETE * DELETE FILE * DISCONNECT FROM EMAIL * DISPLAY * DISPLAY DOCUMENT * DISPLAY LAYOUT * DISPLAY MESSAGE * DISPLAY PERSPECTIVE * DISPLAY QUESTION * DISPLAY URL * DOWNLOAD DOCUMENT * DUPLICATE * EDIT * END PROCESS * ENTER NEW * EXEC_SCRIPT * EXEC_SP * EXEC_SQL… text/html 2025-06-12T02:35:08+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://www.awareim.com/dokuwiki/docs/3000_rule_language/0600_rule_language?rev=1749695708&do=diff manuals rule_language Special usage of rules There are several places in the software where the special format of the rule expressions is used. Rule tables Inside rule tables some rule expressions can be represented in the simplified format. This can happen only if an attribute identifier is specified in the header of the rule table column or row.
