The types of rules available in the Expert Configurator are:

·      Condition

·      Screen Generation

·      Configuration Component

·      Screen Validation

·      Modify Option

·      Secondary Variable

·      Global Variable

·      Price Detail

·      Finalize Price

·      End Debug

·      Component Requirement

·      Generate Comment

·      Create Parameter

·      Finalize Date

·      Manufacturing Detail

·      Availability Date

·      Finalize Cost

·      Internal Variable

·      Purchase Part

·      External Program

Each rule type (except a screen generation rule) has three basic definition items: condition expression, and action expressions one and two.  The items are composed of the following:
