Rules

In GE Digital APM, rules consist of code that determines how records in the GE Digital APM database will behave under specific conditions. Rule code is written in Visual Basic.Net (VB.Net), a programming language that is compatible with the language in which GE Digital APM is written. In this way, you can specify that when certain actions are taken in GE Digital APM, certain rules should be executed.

The purpose of writing rules for a family is to control how records in that family will behave when you work with those records in GE Digital APM.

Rules can be defined:

At the family level to specify how records within that family should behave.
At the field level to specific how fields within records in a given family should behave.
