Rule Sets

After a Rule Set is created, you can add Rules to it. The Rule Set can then be invoked as a step in a Process, or as an action from another Rule, allowing a set of rules to be created once, and 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

• None

The default type.

All Rules in the rule set are evaluated, and all actions dictated by those rules are executed.

• 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 Rule Value.

The rule to return a value halts the rule engine. The value is returned, and no other rules are evaluated.

• Process Step Owner

Return a User, 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.

The rule to return a value halts the rule engine. The value is returned, and no other rules are evaluated.

• Description - Write a descriptive summary here.

Best Practice: When a Rule Set returns a value, don't use it to do anything else. Otherwise, rule sequencing becomes an issue.
