Changing a rule’s description
The next visual element, indicated by the symbol , is an optional description of the rule’s purpose. You can hide or show rule descriptions by clicking in the Event Modeler toolbar, or by selecting Scenario > Toggle Rule Comment Display in the Apama Studio menu.
It is advisable to set a description that explains what condition the rule is checking, what actions it is carrying out, and its effect within the scope of the overall scenario’s logic. This helps when reviewing states and rules at a later stage, more so if another person other than the scenario’s author is doing the reviewing.
