When you modify the value of any property of an item for which rules are defined in the Rule Manager and the software detects a value that is inconsistent with one or more rules, the software responds in accordance with the action specified for the inconsistency. You can view inconsistencies for selected items at the time of data updating, or you can display a summary of rule inconsistency statistics and view a log file with details of the inconsistencies at any time. The software displays inconsistencies for values of item properties and of relationship properties between a main item and an item associated with it.
When viewing inconsistencies at the time of updating, you can choose to accept or reject inconsistencies where the action specified is Warn. If you accept the inconsistency, the software saves the data and warns you that the inconsistency exists each time you update the data. If you reject the inconsistency, the software does not update the database with values that violate the rules.
When the specified action is Reject, the software does not update the database until you fix the values that violate the rule.
After viewing inconsistencies, you can change the data values manually as needed to meet the rule criteria.
