Best practice for copying a ruleset
Posted: Thu May 25, 2017 5:18 pm
Hi,
I am learning the ins and outs of rule designer. I am looking at using the inbuilt name rule (AUNAME) to investigate to different files, both with different structures for a name field.
I am doing this through the standardise function, then the AUNAME ruleset.
My question is: Since the format of the name is different in each file and I want to add an override that applies to each individually but not both, do I need to create a copy of the AUNAME set, or can I restrict what override applies to each file so that I do not need to make a copy of the ruleset?
For example:
File A has Firstname Middle Name. e.g Mary Sally (FF) I override this so it goes to first name then middlename
File B has Firstname Alias. e.g John George (FF) I would want this to go to first name then alias.
So both have two firstnames, both need overrides, the override pattern is the same (FF), but the output is different.
Many thanks
