Defining a formula 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. Type a name for the new activation rule in the Title field.
  4. Ensure that Formula is selected in the Rule Type list.
  5. In the Planning, Project, or Building Permits field, enter the formula for calculating when the planning condition must be met.
    Select the field corresponding to the product family you want to use. The product family determines the formulas that are available to you, and the business object you'll use in any formulas that you write.
  6. 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.
