Verbalizing a Business Member

By default the name of a business object model member is used to represent the member in business rules in the Intellirule Editor, however, you can use the member's Display Text property to control this.

For example, imagine a class, Customer, that has a Boolean property, HasPolicy. By default, in the Intellirule Editor this property appears in rules as HasPolicy. If the Display Text property is set to "the customer has a policy", the business rules that use this property become easier to understand.

To verbalize a class or class member

Open the Business Object Model View, and select the member.
Set the Display Text property for the member to the string that you want to represent it in a rule.

Now, when this member is used in a rule, the string in the Display Text property is used to represent the member.
