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.
How to – create an external rule
- Select the Home tab
- From the Logic group select the External rule icon
- Fill in the required fields
- Click Save or Save & close
