Defining a count activation rule

You create an activation rule in the Activation Rule dialog box, accessed from the Milestones popup when you define a planning condition type.

  1. Open the Activation Rules popup.
    Click the popup button to the right of the Activation Rule field in the Planning Condition dialog box when you define a planning condition type.
  2. Click Add above the grid.
  3. Specify a name for the new activation rule in the Title field.
  4. Select Count from the Rule Type list.
  5. In the appropriate Formula field, specify the formula for calculating the activation rule.
    Infor Public Sector shows Formula fields for three different product families: Planning, Project, and Building Permits. The product family that you select determines the formulas that are available to you, and the business object you'll use in any formulas that you write.
  6. Enable editing in the appropriate Milestones grid and click Add.
  7. In the Application Type field, specify the application type that will be affected by the planning condition associated with this activation rule.
  8. In the Milestone field, specify the milestone at which Infor Public Sector will run the Count formula and, if the formula returns False, will halt the application process.
  9. Click Save.
    Infor Public Sector saves the milestone entry and shows it in the grid in the Activation Rule dialog box.
  10. When you're finished adding milestones, click Save.
    Infor Public Sector saves the activation rule and shows it in the Milestones popup. You can now use it for any planning condition type you define. If you edit an activation rule in the Planning Condition Library, Infor Public Sector updates it in the Planning Condition Library and in every application that uses it.
