An external rule is used to implement decisions outside Blueriq. 

For the design guide on how to model logic see Decision Management guide.

What is it?

An external rule is a business rule that is implemented outside Blueriq Studio.

What does it do?

The external rule can be used to set values in the same way as a business rule. It provides an alternative to modeling in Blueriq Studio. Sometimes this is useful when an external system or interface that implements a business rule is already available. A drawback is that external rules cannot be validated by Blueriq Studio. Therefore external rules are assumed to be correct.
