Define Layer rules

Layer rules allow that entities are positioned automatically in a certain Data Flow Layer when those are displayed. 

There are 2 different types of rules:

Option 1: Derive Layer by entity type

The following rule will cause that all MultiProviders will be added to the "Virtualization" Layer:

Option 2: Derive Layer from a certain digit in the technical name

The following rule will cause all entities with digit "R" on position 2 of the technical name will be added to the "Reporting" Layer:

So the priorities for positioning entities in a certain Layer are:

• Check for a direct assignment
• If no direct assignment is set, check if the entity type assignment exists (option 1).
• If none of the above options are set, check if the technical name fits a "letter rule” (option 2).

In case no assignment or rule is found for an entity, it will be placed in a Layer named "Unassigned".
