Rule Association Table

A rule association table associates rules with behaviors. Because an assignment rule selects rows from the transaction tables in a transaction table group, the ultimate effect of a rule association table is to associate each behavior with a set of transaction rows. A rule association table contains the following columns:

Name	Maximum Length	Description
BehaviorId	Char 32	The identifying value for the behavior
BehaviorName	Char 255	Optional field; the name of the behavior
TableGroup	Char 64	Defined transaction table group for the rule that is applied
AssignmentRule	Char 64	The name for the assignment rule; must be unique within the model

A rule association table must conform to the following rules:

The columns must have the length shown.
The order of the columns is arbitrary (they are identified during import)
The column name is arbitrary (but, if you use these names, they are matched automatically during import)

Notes:

If any column in a row is blank, it is an error and the row is not imported.
If the assignment rule name is not found, it is an error and the row is not imported.
If the table group name is not found, it is an error and the row is not imported.
If an association already exists for a behavior, the new association in the import table replaces the existing association.

The following picture shows a sample rule association table that can be imported into a model.
