Using Business Rules

Go Up to Reference Objects

A business rule is a policy, practice, or formula related to the operation and enforcement of business practices. You can create a new business rule in the Reference Objects node:

1 Right-click on the Business Rules node in the Model View tree and select New. The command that appears depends on the reference object clicked. So when you right-click on Business Rules, the command will be New Business Rule.

The newly created reference object appears nested below the selected object in the Model View tree. When you right-click the newly created object you gain access to a shortcut menu where you can rename or delete the Business Rule. You can also view the Impact Analysis Report. You can create a link, and open the Property View for the selected business rule. You can also double-click an object to open the Property View.

2 Once you create the reference object, you can then drag that object onto the Diagram View. A representative icon is placed in the diagram. You can then link these objects to processes and tasks.
