Creating New Phrases

 PREVIOUS NEXT

You can define several navigation or action phrases for a BOM element, so that rule authors can use different wordings while actually using the same method or attribute.

To add a phrase to a method:

  1. In the Member Verbalization section of the BOM Editor, click Create a navigation phrase or Create an action phrase. The phrase appears in the list of phrases.
    2. A warning may appear because the new phrase is defined with the default verbalization. So if you already have the default verbalization for an existing phrase, there is a conflict because you should not define the same verbalization twice in the vocabulary.
  2. Click the phrase to expand it and edit the verbalization in the Template field.
  3. Save the BOM.
    4. The phrase is now accessible from business rule artifacts.
