Define additional variables for multiple occurrences of a business term |
PREVIOUS NEXT |
The Rule Editor defines one variable for each type of business term that it encounters, and identifies it with the word "the". For example, if customer is something you work with in your rules, the Rule Editor will define a variable called the customer, available in the completion menu.
If your rule requires you to refer to more than one occurrence of a customer, you have to explicitly define the others in the Definitions part, for example:
Definitions set 'applicant' to a customer; set 'loyal customer' to a customer; If all of the following conditions are true: - 'applicant' is married to 'loyal customer' - 'loyal customer' is insured Then upgrade 'applicant''s rating;
set <variable> to <definition>
