Items

• order

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

• exclusive

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  If set to true, this fragment might be the only one with this particular order number. (Other fragments could be merged into it, but in "mergeIntoOrder" mode. TODO TODO TODO)

• mergeable

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  If set to true, this schema fragment is eligible to merging with other fragments of the same order. (Non-mergeable fragments with the same order are ordered randomly. Mergeable fragments must have order filled-in.) Mergeable fragments must have "order" attribute set. Restrictions on merging schema fragments: 1) Mergeable fragments must contain exactly one stage. It is merged with the stage(s) of the other fragment(s) without any further considerations (e.g. regarding stage order or name or whatever). 2) It is expected that single policy rule triggered all the fragments that are being merged. So we consider any of these rules.

• mergeIntoOrder

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,-1]

  Which fragments should this one be merged with. This is mutually exclusive with the "order" attribute. If order is set, it is not possible to specify mergeIntoOrder. Both fragments with the same order are considered "equal". This can be used e.g. to provide a different set of approvers (for the given stage). If mergeIntoOrder is set (usually with multiple values), this fragment is considered as an augmentation of other ones. This can be used e.g. to provide an escalation or notification strategy, custom form information, etc.

• mergeIntoAll

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Indicates that this fragment is to be merged into all the other "base" fragments. This is mutually exclusive with the "order" and "mergeIntoOrder" attributes.

• mergePriority

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Provides an information about order in which this fragment is merged (lower numbers are processed before higher ones).

• mergeOverwriting

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,-1]

  If stage B is being merged into existing stage A (i.e. mergeOrder B is greater mergeOrder A), all non-null values of B will be added to values of A; overwriting them in case of single-valued items. For items marked as "mergeOverwriting", the actual values of B (even those that are null or empty) overwrite those in A.
