Import a Rule Association Table

A rule association table associates rules with behaviors. Since a 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.

1. Activate the Behaviors workspace, and select a model to which the rule associations are to be added.
2. Select Actions Import Associations.
   
   The Import Associations window opens.
3. Click Select to select a rule association table; select a table, and then click OK.
4. To preview the data in the rule association table, click Preview.
5. Click OK.
6. For each required column in a rule association table, identify the corresponding column in the table being imported, and then click OK.
   
   A window with the message Import associations complete appears.
7. Click Details to verify that the import succeeded, and then click OK.

Notes:

• If a column in the import table is blank, it is an error and the row is not imported.
• If the assignment rule name in the import table is not found, it is an error and the row is not imported.
• If the table group name in the import table 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.
