System architects often secure rulesets to prevent unauthorized or unintended changes to rules. When you edit the rules in a secured ruleset, you either check out the rule or perform a private edit.

Rule check out and check in

The check-out feature is used to manage changes to rules when multiple developers work on an application. This feature allows a system architect to update a rule while preventing updates by other system architects. Rule check-oLorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Checking out a rule

Checking out a rule creates a copy of the original rule in your personal ruleset and prevents other system architects from checking the rule out until you check in your changes.

The personal ruleset occupies the top spot in the ruleset stack. The rules in your personal ruleset override rules in the rest of the application. This allows you to test your changes to the rule without affecting other system architects.

In the Dev Studio header, click the Checkouts icon to view a list of the rules you have checked out. After you update the rule and test the changes, you check in the rule. This updates the application ruleset with a new version of the rule.

Private edit

A private edit provides a nonexclusive check out of a rule. This allows other system architects to edit a rule at the same time. Private edits are useful for quick debugging without interrupting development by other team members. This option is not available in App Studio.

It is a best practice to lock older versions of a ruleset in order to prevent changes. For rules in a locked ruleset, a lock icon is displayed on the rule form.
