Take a look at this article - Execution order of scripts and engines.

But from your list, I would say:

  • ACLs which would make the field/record editable or not in the browser
  • Client Scripts as the user interacts with the form
  • UI Policies as the user interacts with the form
  • UI Action when the user clicks the UI Action
  • Business Rules (although a Display BR would run first)

Hi Prateek gupta,

They all are created for different purpose. Please don't get confused with each other.

The order of execution be like-

ACL -Purpose of ACL is to ensure what data users can access and hoe they can access it.

Client Script - Runs on browser and used for validation purpose. Client side validation includes making a field mandatory, read only, hidden etc.

UI Policy - This is similar to Client script, except that not need to write a script.

Business Rule - This runs at server side when a form Insert , Update. This can do some action that can be achieved only by running from server.

UI Actions - UI Actions are UI elements that can show up on form or a list as a button, link or context menu.
