A rule is processed if the occurrence of a change corresponds to:
- The defined type of event
- The defined sphere of activity.
However, by the explicit fade in or fade out of GUI components, you can set single nodes or a group of nodes to not storable, "not serializable". For example, if a whole group of single nodes is faded out, the tag names of the group and its sub-elements no longer need to be visible in the target instance (serialized XML data stream). Therefore, the whole group is removed from the target instance.
The rule can become irrelevant if rules are defined on nodes which are no longer visible at run-time (setVisible). To express this, set the event settings doesConcernNoneSerializableSource to „false".
