To Modify Default Business Rules for a Feature Definition in a Job Default

The Business Rules page of the Placement Defaults dialog box is used to select default business rules for a feature definition in a job default. These default settings determine whether the placement rules for this feature type will be enabled or disabled when you assign the feature. If multiple placement rules are applicable to the feature, you can enable some or all of the rules or you can disable all of them. For more information, see Business Rules.

If you want to specify business rules for a feature without altering the job default, you can override the job default by accessing the Placement Defaults dialog box while working with a particular design in the Design Assistant. With this method, your modifications to the feature definition will affect only to the current version of the Features Catalog and will apply only to the current design. For more information, see Modifying Default Business Rules for Feature Types.
