The Building Blocks of A PRPC Application Flashcards
What is an application made up of?
Applications is made up of case types, case types are made up of Subcases and Processess, which are made up of rules / recors. An App has one or more case types which defines what the application will do.
Name some common rule types?
Sections, Decision trees, decision tables, report definitions, rules are how we define and configure applications.
What are rules?
Rules are the building blocks of applications. There are many different types of rules and each rule type provides business friendly and easy to use forms that allow us to build our application. We use these forms to define the elements of our application such as our data model, user interface, business logic, and process. We refer to these forms as rule forms.
What is a Rule Category?
It is a logical grouping of related rule types. Each rule category has a corresponding rule form that allows us to define the specific elements of our application.
What are the different rule categories?
Data Model. UI. Decision. Process
How are rule categories organized?
We use Class, which is a container for rules,it represents the applicability of a rule, which we often refer to as the scope of the rule. A class defines capabilities, rules such as Properties, Flows, and Sections, that are available to the class and its subordinate classes.
How is an application organized??
An application is organized as a hierarchy of classes based on the scope of their reusability. This hierarchy is referred to as a class structure and it governs how individual rules are applied. As you move down the class structure you go from having more generic rules at the top of the hierarchy to more specialized rules at the bottom of the hierarchy. By having more generic rules in the top of the hierarchy we create components that are easier to reuse in our application.
