The framework of a generated application can be extended with custom business rules
(/learn/sql-business-rules/overview) to handle client- and server-side events. The events are
typically raised in response to user interface actions. There are several types of business
rules:
SQL Business Rules (/learn/feature-tour/sql-business-rules) are written in the
programming language of the database engine.
Code Business Rules (/learn/feature-tour/csharp-visual-basic-business-rules) are
written in the programming language of the project (C#/Visual Basic).
JavaScript Business Rules (/learn/feature-tour/javascript-business-rules) are written in
JavaScript.
Email Business Rules (/learn/feature-tour/email-business-rules) are implemented as
email templates.
JavaScript business rules are executed by the client web browser. All other types of business
rules are executed on the server. Business rules have uniform access to field values and
application framework facilities. The application framework orchestrates execution of
business rules, which allows the developer to implement business logic that is not bound to
user interface elements.
Business rules can be found in the Project Browser by clicking on the Rules tab when a
controller is selected.
