You can create rules which can that check between all logical (Yes/No) and numerical (digits) fields in RDS Roon Data and the Item specificationData. The type is automatically determined when you choose the fields between for which you want to set up the rule. Table 1 illustrates the correlation between field type and the type of rules which that can be created.

RDS

Room Data field:

Item Data field:

Can be counted down:

Result:

Logical

Logical

No

Under-specified
If the Item field is "Yes", the

RDS

field must also be "Yes".
Example: If the Item is flagged for vacuum, the

RDS

field "vacuum" must also be flagged.
Over-specified:
If

there are

no

Item

item is in the room with the "Yes" field,

neither shall

the

RDS

field shall not have "Yes

"

.”
Example: If no Item in the room

require

requires a vacuum, the

RDS

field "vacuum" shall not be flagged.

Numerical

Logical

Yes

Under-specified
The

RDS

field must be equal to or greater than the number of

Item

Items in the room where the Item field is flagged.
Example: If

the

an Item is flagged for power supply, the number of sockets in the room must be greater than or equal to the total

of all these Item which

number of items that require power supply.
Over-specified:
The

RDS

field must not be greater than the number of

Item

Items in the room where the Item field is flagged.
Example: The number of power sockets in the room must not be greater than the number of

Item

Items which require power.

Logical

Numerical

No

Under-specified
If an Item in the room has a field greater than 0, the

RDS

field must be flagged.
Over-specified:
If no Item in the room has a field greater than 0, the

RDS

field must not be flagged.

Numerical

Numerical

No

Under-specified
You can choose an operator with which to compare values. If you choose '>', the value of the Item field must be greater than or equal to the value in the

RDS

field. If you choose the '<' operator, the Item field must be less than or equal to the

RDS

field.
Example: The minimum temperature for the Item must be greater than or equal to the minimum temperature in the room.
Over-specified:
Reverse the operator selected (for under-specified).
For example

: The

, the minimum temperature for the Item must

not

be

less than

at least the minimum temperature in the room.
Check whether over-specified for this type of rule

actually

has any practical significance.

Numerical

Numerical

Yes

Under-specified
The sum of the Item field for all Items in the room must be less than or equal to the value in the

RDS

field.
Example: The number of data connections for all

Item

Items in the room must be less than or equal to the number of data outlets

in the room

.
Over-specified:
The value in the

RDS

field must not be greater than the total of the Item field for all Items in the room.
For example

:

, The number of data connections for all Items in the room must not

be greater than

exceed the number of data outlets.

Table 1

Go to Project-> RDS-> Item check to create and delete rules. This provides you with an overview of all rules defined. Click on "Add" to add a rule. There is a tree on the left-hand side of the screen with all the RDS fields and one on the right-hand side with all the Item fields. Choose one field in each of these by double-clicking on the field you want. Depending on the type of field you have selected, you will have options as to whether the resource is to be counted down and the operator you want to use. Once you have completed defining the rule, its definition will be shown in the text fields for under-specified and over-specified respectively. You then select a priority and click OK.

...

To create a new Rule, select Add

...

Select a Room Data field to define the requirements for the room on the Room

Select an Item field to define the requirements for the item in the room.

Info

Refer to the table above on the conditions available when setting up Rules.

...

Select Ok when your rule has been defined.

Priority is used to rank the rules against each other for when rules are run and will start with the first priority and work through the rules until completed.
