 Decision Rule Types

 When Condition Rules

 Decision Tree Rule

 Decision Table Rule

 Map Value Rule

 Which Decision To Use At What Point Of Time?


Definition
 Decision Rules :

– Decision Rules define computations and comparisons that may Cause


processing to continue along one path or another

 Decision Rules are categorized in to:

 When Condition Rule


 Decision Tree Rules
 Decision Table Rules
 Map Value Rules
When Condition Rules

 When Condition Rules


– They are listed in Decision Rule category.
– It is an instance of the Rule-Obj-When rule type
Definition :
– A when condition rule evaluates a Boolean logical statement involving
comparisons among values of properties, to return true or false.

When Condition Rules…
 It can also be used for more complex evaluations :
– If used to build the complex conditions, the Conditions tab can no longer be
used to edit this When condition, instead we can use Advanced Tab.

 Allows logic statements :


– Specify logic that will be used to return a result of True.
Decision Tree Rule

 Decision Tree Rule


– They are listed in Decision Rule category.
– It is an instance of the Rule-Declare-Decision Tree type.
Definition :
– Use a decision tree rule to record if..then logic that calculates a value in a
simple-to-understand format based on rows of property values, computations,
and comparisons.
Decision Tree Rule…
 Decision Tree can be referred from three other rules

– From decision shape of flow rule.


– In an activity you can evaluate the decision tree using Property-Map-Decision
Tree. By doing so, we can set a property value with the return value of the
decision table.
– Decision tree can be referred from Rule-Declare-Expression.
Decision Table Rule
 Decision Table Rule
– They are listed in Decision Rule category.
– It is an instance of the Rule-Declare-DecisionTable type.
Definition :
– Use a decision table to derive a value that has one of a few possible
outcomes, where each outcome can be detected by a test condition. A
decision table rule lists two or more rows, each containing test conditions and
a result.
Map Value Rule
 Map Value Rule
– They are listed in Decision Rule category.
– It is an instance of the Rule-Obj-Map Value type.
Definition :
– Use a map value rule to create a table of number, text, or date ranges that
converts one or two input values, such as latitude and longitude numbers, into
a calculated result value, such as a city name. Map value rules greatly simplify
decisions based on ranges of one or two inputs. Use a map value rule to
record decisions based on one or two ranges of an input value. A map value
rule uses a one- or two-dimensional table to derive a result.
Map Value Rule…
How and where the maps are referred ?

 From decision shape of flow rule.


 In an activity you can evaluate the map value using Property- Map-value
(Where you have only row input) or Property-Map-ValuePair( When you have
both row and column inputs ). By doing so, we can set a property value with
the return value of the map value.
 Map can be referred from Rule-Declare-Expression.
 A Map value can be referred from other map values.
Which Decision To Use At What Point
Of Time
 Decision Tree
– Accepts one input property value, but can evaluate numerous properties.
– For business logic currently stored in written documents.
– Best used for complex if/then/else statements.
 Map Value
– Can convert one or two property values into a single result.
– For computations based on ranges.
– Also for substitution of values.
 Decision Table
– Can convert multiple property values into a range of return values.
– Based on same property inputs with varying values.
 When
– Evaluates relationship among one or more property values and returns true or
false Based on simple if/then/else constructs.
