Rules

Rules decide whether a configuration is allowed to generate or download manufacturing files.

Use rules to encode shop knowledge that is not a simple min/max:

• Pitch cannot exceed diameter
• Guard length must cover the screw plus overlap
• A material option is unavailable above a size
• Sheet-metal thickness is only valid for listed gauges

If a rule fails, the published page should say so in plain language. Do not offer STEP on a failing configuration.

Open the product’s rules editor in the App. Each rule has a condition and a message. Keep messages something sales can read to a buyer on a call.

1. Publish or preview the configurator.
2. Enter a known-bad size from a real RFQ.
3. Confirm the block message appears.
4. Enter a known-good size and confirm generate is offered.

The demo tenant includes families with live block examples so you can show this without inventing a rule on the call.
