Association Rules Tab

By combining multiple association rules you can instruct Oxygen XML Developer to identify the type of a document. An Oxygen XML Developer association rule holds information about Namespace, Root local name, File name, Public ID, Attribute, and Java class. Oxygen XML Developer identifies the type of a document when the document matches at least one of the association rules. This tab give you access to a Document type rule dialog box that you can use to create association rules that activate on any document matching all the criteria defined in the dialog box.

To create a new association rule, click the New button at the bottom of the Association Rules tab, or to edit an existing rule, click the Edit button.

Tip: You can use wildcards (? and *) or editor variables in the Document Type Rule dialog box, and you can enter multiple values by separating them with a comma.

To open the Association Rules tab of the Document type configuration dialog box, open the Preferences dialog box (Options > Preferences), go to Document Type Association, use the New, Edit, Duplicate, or Extend button, and click on the Association Rules tab.

In the Association rules tab, you can perform the following actions:

New: Opens the Document type rule dialog box allowing you to create association rules.
Edit: Opens the Document type rule dialog box allowing you to edit the properties of the currently selected association rule.
Delete: Deletes the currently selected association rules from the list.
Move Up: Moves the selected association rule up one spot in the list.
Move Down: Moves the selected association rule down one spot in the list.
