After you add categories and subcategories, you associate them to the appropriate rules. You can associate a rule with one or more categories and subcategories at a time, depending on the context in which you are working, and can modify these associations at any time. When you associate a rule with a subcategory, the parent category is associated by default.

There are multiple ways to associate categories to rules:

  • When you create or edit a rule.
  • From a library rule's context (right-click) menu.
  • When you view business rule search results or display business rules in a List View. Use this method to associate categories and subcategories to multiple rules at a time. The rules you select must be of the same type, either ABRs or EBRs, and either library rules or rules residing outside the Library.
