Object Names in Component Rules
In a component rule, data object names always refer to components in the same
component list. In a component rule, a data object name ends with a component
name. For example, if LineItem is in a component list, the object name for the
Qty Info component of LineItem is Qty Info:LineItem.
Note In the preceding Qty Info:LineItem example, the colon would be interpreted as
"is a component of". If the example was Qty Info LineItem, the space between
Info and LineItem would be interpreted as "is a subtype of".
The general definition of a component rule object name can be divided into the
two parts described in the following table. If one of these parts is used, it must be
sequenced according to the order in the table.

Card Name
A map rule can reference the object of an entire card. A card name is a simple
type name from 1 to 32 characters in length. For example, if the input card name
is Invoice, the name for the card object would be Invoice.
