Basic rule associations

You can use a basic rule association to validate or transform the attribute values based on the selected predefined function. A validation function validates whether data matches the specified condition. For example, you can set a maximum length condition for a field value. A transformation function transforms data. For example, the uppercase function converts lowercase values to uppercase.

You can group the predefined functions into the following categories:

Validation. Validates whether data matches the specified condition. When you use a validation function, you must configure a validation message or use the default validation message.

Transformation. Transforms data.

Attributes that are configured with transformation functions of basic rule associations appear in read-only mode.

Reference 360

generates values for these attributes based on the basic rule associations, and you can't edit these values.

The following table lists the rules that you can configure for each attribute type:

Attribute Type	Rules and Descriptions
String	Maximum Length - Validates whether the length of a string is less than or equal to the specified length. Minimum Length - Validates whether the length of a string is greater than or equal to the specified length. Starts With - Validates whether a string starts with the specified string. Ends With - Validates whether a string ends with the specified string. No Spaces - Validates whether a string does not contain spaces. Contains - Validates whether a value contains the specified string in the exact order. Does Not Contain - Validates whether a value does not contain the specified string in the exact order. Allowed Characters - Validates whether a value contains the specified allowed characters. Not Allowed Characters - Validates whether a value contains the specified characters that are not allowed. Regular Match - Validates whether a string matches with the specified regular expression pattern. External Validation - Validates the field data based on an external validation rule that is associated to a Cloud Application Integration process. The Cloud Application Integration process uses external APIs to validate the data. Concatenate - Concatenates two or more strings. Concatenate With Spaces - Concatenates two or more strings with spaces in between. Uppercase - Converts lowercase string characters to uppercase. Lowercase - Converts uppercase string characters to lowercase. Title Case - Capitalizes the first character in each word of a string and converts all other characters to lowercase. Left Trim - Removes spaces from the beginning of a string. Right Trim - Removes spaces at the end of a string. Replace - Replaces a character set in a string with another character set.
Decimal	Minimum Value - Validates whether a numerical value is greater than or equal to the specified value. Maximum Value - Validates whether a numerical value is less than or equal to the specified value. Maximum Decimal Scale - Validates whether the number of decimal places is less than or equal to the specified value. Maximum Precision - Validates whether the total number of digits in a decimal number is less than or equal to the specified value.
Integer	Minimum Value - Validates whether a numerical value is greater than or equal to the specified value. Maximum Value - Validates whether a numerical value is less than or equal to the specified value. Maximum Precision - Validates whether the total number of digits in a decimal number is less than or equal to the specified value.
Date	Date Range - Validates whether a date is in between two specified dates. Greater Than Date - Validates whether a date is greater than the specified date. Less Than Date - Validates whether a date is less than the specified date. No Future Date - Validates whether a date is not a future date.
