 PREVIOUS NEXT

If there is no ambiguity between members of the BOM in different classes, you can remove the {this} placeholder for the declaring class from the verbalization. This produces shorter phrases and makes your business rules less verbose.

To create a simpler verbalization:

  1. In the Outline view, click the member for which you want a simpler verbalization.
  2. In the Member Verbalization section of the BOM Editor, expand the phrase to show the Template field.
  3. Remove the of {this} part of the verbalization. A warning appears saying The placeholder "this" is missing.
  4. On the Window menu, click Preferences.
  5. In the left hand pane of the Preferences dialog, click ILOG Rule Studio > Vocabulary.
  6. On the Vocabulary page, clear the box Check {this} placeholders in phrases.
  7. Click Apply, then OK.
  8. Save the BOM.
    9. The warning disappears and you can start using the simplified verbalization in your business rules.
