List of management rules

Management rule	Description
`ABS_FIN_BYDUREE`	For leave requests (Desktop Application > My Akuiteo > My leave requests), allows you to automatically calculate the End date from the Start date and the No. Days. The management rule contains the Allow input of the end date parameter: If Yes is selected, the End date field can be manually specified for the leave request. If No is selected, the End date field is disabled and only the duration can be specified.
`AFF_ZL_PAGE1`	Allows you to define the display of custom data in the General information tab of projects (Management > Projects). When the management rule is enabled, the display of custom data is determined by the configuration of the management rule instead of displaying the first 5 custom data fields. The management rule contains the following parameters: Number of CD to display (0 = hide all): Specify the number of custom data fields to display. If the field is empty, 5 custom data fields are displayed. If 0 is specified, no custom data is displayed. Number of columns to use: Specify the number of columns to display for the custom data. This field is required for the management rule to take effect. If 0 is specified, no custom data is displayed. Index of the first custom data (empty = display from the lowest to the highest index number set up): Specify the position of the first custom data field to display based on the rank numbers of the custom data. If the field is empty, custom data fields are displayed from the first one. Example The following custom data fields are set up for projects: Budget in rank number 1, Contract number and Status in rank number 2, Last tracking date in rank number 3. I specify 4 in the Index of the first custom data (empty = display from the lowest to the highest index number set up) management rule parameter. The first custom data field to be displayed on the project record sheet will be Last tracking date since it is the 4th custom data field based on the rank numbers.

Lorsque la règle de gestion est activée, la ressource renseignée sur la ligne de devis est prise en compte à la place pour l'élément de planning généré. La règle de gestion contient le paramètre Si oui dans libre 1 alors on se cale depuis la date de livraison et non depuis la date de livraison -1 : Si Oui est sélectionné, la date de fin de l'élément de planning correspondra à la date de livraison.
