After a Rule Set is created, you can add Rules to it. The Rule Set can then be invoked as an action from another Rule, allowing a single Rule Set to be used in multiple contexts.

Rule Set Properties

  • Name - The name of the Rule Set--used to reference when invoked from other Rules or from a Process.
  • Enabled - Whether or not the Rule Set is currently in force. (Disable a Rule Set to temporarily deactivate it, without deleting it.)
  • Return Type -
  • Process Decision Value -
A rule set with this return type creates a process value that can be tested in a Process Model#Decision Switch
When a Rule Set has this return type, rules added to it have another possible action: Return Process Decision Value
The returned value is stored in a process variable named __TBD__.
If multiple rules in the rule set return a decision value, the value returned by the last rule to execute is used.
  • Process Step Owner - Return a User, Team, or Role identifier.
A Rule Set with this return type can be used to specify the owner of a user task or approval step in a Process.
When a Rule Set has this return type, rules added to it have another possible action: Return Step Owner
When you select that action, you can either specify a Role or select one of the fields in the record that designates a User.
  • None - The default.
  • Description - Write a descriptive summary here.
