Enables you to view the rule type (relation rule or single component rule) together with the rule components. Rule components can be either filters created in Filter Manager or item types available in Smart Electrical (except for reference data item types). A filter specifies an extensive class of item types to which the rule applies. A relation rule consists of a pair of rule components. A single component rule has only one rule component.

Component 1

Displays the first rule component and set or changes the rule type.

Filter or item type

Displays the first rule component.

Single component

Indicates the rule type. When this check box is selected, the software uses a single component rule for the component specified in the Filter or item Type box under Component 1. A single component rule enables you to evaluate and validate consistency of the properties or property values of a specific item tag.

Component 2

Available only when the rule type is a relation rule. Specifies a second rule component, which the software can display as an operand in logical relations in the Consistency tab.

Filter or item type

Displays the second rule component.

The order of the rule components is not important. Relation rules are be bi- directional. If your rule components are different, and in the Consistency tab you create a logical expression using both components as operands, the rule applies to any of the components involved in user operations in Smart Electrical.
