Creating a Rule

Typically a business user wants to create rules with text and structure that communicates their meaning. A diagram is the graphical representation of an individual rule. A business user will use this diagram to describe the rule structure and logic. For example, What is the total household income? The Rule name is localizable and can contain multibyte and accented characters. To rename the Rule name update the "Display Name" field in the Business Tab of the property panel.

  1. Open the CER Editor Rule dialog by selecting the Rule button in the Rule Outline View.
  2. In the Name field enter Simple Calculation.
  3. From the Type dropdown, select the Number entry.
