Develop custom action class	Developer	You can use a custom action rule to set a field value using a custom class. To set up a custom action rule, first develop the custom class to be applied. The custom class must extend the DQSCustomValidationBase base class. When you extend the DQSCustomValidationBase base class: Enter a unique and recognizable description() for the class. The description is shown in the lookup of the Class name field of a custom action rule. Use these methods to indicate to which data the custom class is applicable: getTablesList(): You can define the tables to which the custom class applies. As a result, you can select the custom class for a custom action rule with one of the applicable tables defined. getExtendedDataTypesList(): You can assign extended data types to which the custom class applies, for example, 'ExternalItemId'. As a result, you can select the custom class for a custom action rule with a target field defined that uses the same extended data type. getBaseTypesList(): You can define base data types to which the custom class applies, for example, String or Date. As a result, you can select the custom class for a custom action rule with a target field defined with the same data type. Use the processRecord() method to define the x++ code that defines the return value that is used as input value for the target field of the action rule. The base structure of an extended DQSCustomValidationBase class is:
