Rules editor

Rules are the most important tool for adding business logic to your Resco Mobile CRM app. Rules are scripts that are performed when a user of the mobile app opens a new view or form, taps a button or record, modifies any value, etc. You can modify many things using the scripts, most notably you change data or change the UI.

Various rules can be defined for each of the user interface components, such as form or view. They are edited in Woodford.
