Use this activity to enter rules for document-object default values when more advanced configuration is needed than what can be achieved using the central default values or the default values for a certain document class. For example, you can define default values for a combination of a certain document class and a certain business object type.
After configuring rules, the specified default values will be applied to new document-object connections.

Document Object Connection Default Values,
Registering a rule to match a certain document class and business object type.
Perform the following procedure if you want certain default values to be applied when a document of a certain class is connected to a business object of a certain type. In this procedure, the class 100 and the object type EquipmentFunctional will be used.
Rules using wildcards in the Document Class or Lu Name fields
Use the same steps as in the previous procedure, but combine letters and wildcards when entering the values for Document Class or Lu Name. For example, if there are many document classes where the name starts with DRAWING, and you want to have the same rule for all those classes, enter DRAWING% as the value. Similarly, wildcards can be used for the Lu Name field.
Rules using wildcards in the Key Ref field
In more complex setups, you can also use wildcards in the Key Ref field, to get a more specific match on certain business objects. Example of a value for EquipmentFunctinal: CONTRACT=20^MCH_CODE=%. This value will make the rule match all equipment objects on site 20.
Wildcards can be used in all three condition fields, in different combinations.
