Changing link rules

You can use the Link Rule tab in the Link Rules application to change fields and clauses on existing link rules.

About this task

You can make the following changes to link rules:
  • Change the data in the description field. You cannot change the name in the Link field.
  • Change the data in fields in existing link rule clauses.
  • Add new clauses to the link rule.
  • Delete clauses from the link rule.

A link rule must have at least one link rule clause. If you attempt to delete all link clauses from a link rule, an error message is displayed when you save the link rule, and the clauses are not deleted.

When you save a modified link clause, the link rule is evaluated to determine whether the clauses are valid expressions. If a clause is not valid, an error message is displayed, and the link rule is not saved.
