For rules, this help system and other materials use ordinary English words to refer to a single rule of a specific rule type. These words are known as common names for the rule types. It is simpler to say or read:
Find a property that has ...
than
Find an instance of the Rule-Obj-Property rule type that has....
Most common names are familiar and unlikely to cause confusion:
Other common names are less natural or less obvious. For example, the common name for Rule-Obj-When instances is not when, it is when condition.
