Enabled

Use the check box to enable or disable the rule. This option is enabled by default.

Enter a description of the business rule. This will show in the Business Rules Manager dialog box.

Rule definition

Always execute this rule (no conditions) — Use this option to apply the rule to all documents. This will disable the When box as no condition statements are needed.

When

The When box is used to create and manage the rule conditions. Multiple conditions can be created and organized into groups. A blue box is used to indicate a condition group.

To create a condition, click the <Target> link and then click the appropriate condition. Click the Operation link to select the appropriate operation. Click the Value link to select the appropriate value. This will complete the condition statement.

You can select the condition statement and use the buttons below the box to add and remove conditions.

Select a condition radio button (inside the box) to enable the Add Condition and Remove Condition buttons for adding and removing condition statements. The new condition will be added after the currently selected condition.
Select a group radio button (outside the box) to enable the Add Group and Remove Group buttons for adding and removing groups. This will also enable the Add Condition button for adding a condition to the selected group. The new condition will be added to the end of the current list of conditions.

Perform the following actions

The Perform the following actions box is used to create and manage rule actions.

To create an action, click the <Action> link and select the appropriate action type. You can create actions to do the following:

Action	Description
Assign Profiles to Document	Set Failover Profile — Specifies what should happen to documents when they are sent to inaccessible destinations (they are not able to receive documents). Set Filter Profile — Associates a filter profile with a document. This filter will be used for document viewing and reprinting. Set Library Filing Profile — Sends documents to the document library. Specifies the library folder where documents will be sent, the file store, any notifications, and how long to keep documents before deleting. Set Notification Profile — Sends notifications when specific events occur in the document life cycle. Set Output Process — Performs processing such as search and replace, setting finishing options, editing PJL commands, inserting overlays, and so on.
Burst	Line Mode — Bursts line data documents based on: data contained in the document, desired output size and size of original document, and number of output documents desired. Page Mode — Splits printer ready documents based on: data contained in the document (regions are used to determine burst conditions), desired output size and size of original document, and number of output documents desired.
Extract Text	Line Mode — Extracts text from line data documents using rows and columns. Page Mode — Extracts text from printer ready documents using regions (rectangles).
Modify Document Contents	Runs the ADM (Advanced Document Modification) process. In this process each page of the document is read, portions of the document can be changed or values extracted, and then the page is written. This can be used as an advanced way to extract text, burst, or perform other operations on the document.
Route to Destinations	Advanced — Allows you to use a CSV file to dynamically pick destinations based on a document property. Basic — Specifies the destinations where documents should be sent.
Set Document Properties	Configures document properties.
Transform Document	Adept — Transform documents using the Adept transform suite. Page Mode — Transforms the format of a printer ready document to a new format, and/or to another data type. Record Mode (Advanced) — Transforms line data from one line format to another. Record Mode (Basic) — Performs the most common transforms for data coming from a Output Manager Print Server device. This converts .tnj to ASCII text, .anj to AFP, and .bnj to .bin.
Analyze Document	Processes documents and populates document properties.
Assign to Document Folder	Assigns documents to specific document folders.
Convert Fixed Block to Variable Block	Converts FBA to VBA and FBM to VBM. It can be used when dealing with mainframe tape formats.
Delete Document	Deletes documents.
Move Document to File Store	Moves documents to another location (file store).
Package Banner	Adds a banner to the beginning of the package. The banner will be added as a separate document within the same package.

Schedule Output	Schedules documents to print at a specific date and time.

Set Document State	Sets the document state to hold or ready.
Set Retain Period	Determines how long documents will be retained.
Unpackage	Separates documents that are in a package so they can act as individual documents in Output Manager. Once documents are separated, rules can be run on them individually, they can be routed individually, and so on.
