Roundtrip

One of the possibilities of ATOME: Matter is to make a roundtrip by using import and export functionalities. This feature will be useful if you need to make manual changes in the file with the help of other platforms.

Let’s learn this functionality on the example on editing business rules in excel.

First of all we should export framework version’s validation rules to excel. Click 3 dots next to a framework version, move your cursor to “export” and then choose “excel with validation rules - for re-import” because we need to do a roundtrip.

Open

After exporting and opening excel file we can see the list of business rules, in our case it is only one rule.

Open

All information regarding business rule is available in separate cells in exported excel. We can see label type, label information and variables names. If there is added error message we will also see it here.

If we want to make any changes to a business rule we should write 1 in a column “to be updated” and then make changes in other columns keeping rule ID. If we want to add a new business rule we should add all necessary information and leave rule ID field empty.

To delete a rule we should type 1 in a column “to be deleted”.

For example to add a new business rule we should write rule code (it is the same as business rule label code when you add rule in ATOME: Matter), leave “to be updated” and “to be deleted” fields with 0 value and prepare an expression.

New business rule will mean that the sum of all total cells per each type of transport (ships, boats and cars) should be more then 0.

From the other fields in excel we should add data to “label” and “severity and modules” columns. In this case we also use short label in English language and we only change the text of a label. In all other field we keep 0 values or can leave them empty.

After finishing with excel document you should go back to ATOME: Matter. In the Matter click 3 dots next to a Framework Version and choose import - Excel with business rules.

Then you need to choose excel file with changes from your computer. The started task may take some time.

After the task is finished don’t forget to refresh the page with business rules. At this moment we will see our newly added business rule in the list.
