Consistency Criteria

This list view shows all of the properties to be compared and copied at this relationship. These consistency criteria come from the rules that apply to this relationship. The consistency criteria for each rule are originally specified within the Rule Manager. The name of the source rule is shown in the first column. The remaining columns are the same as shown in the Consistency tab of the Rule Properties dialog in Rule Manager. Single selection mode is supported.

Item 1

Displays the inconsistency, item type, and item tag for the first item that is connected by the active relationship. When the Consistency Check Dialog first appears, all items involved in the inconsistency are selected.

Relationship

If there are multiple relationship indicators at the same location, all of them are loaded into the Consistency Check Dialog. Each relationship indicator is assigned a number. The numbers are loaded into the drop- down list on the Relationship control. You can review each one individually by selecting from the entries in the drop-down list.

Item 2

Displays the inconsistency, item type, and item tag for the second item that is connected by the active relationship. When the Consistency Check Dialogfirst appears, all items involved in the inconsistency are selected.

Highlight item 1

Copy Bi-directional if Null

The value can be copied in either direction during propagation but only if the current value on the target item is Null.

<

Copy Item2 to Item1 if Null

The value from Item 2 is copied to Item 1 during propagation but only if the current value on Item 1 is Null.

>
