A rule can do many things. The idea is to select and sequence available behaviors with the goal of implementing and enforcing your organization’s business processes. You will need to know what a rule can do, and what your business processes need to do. Then you can translate your process for a record into a rule. The following list presents many of the things a rule can do.
Organize Steps Of Record Processing Into Logical Chunks Called States
Control Records With States For Negative As Well As Positive Conditions
Sequenced States = Sequenced Workflow
Control Who May Create Records Under This Rule
Control Who May Edit A Record During Each Of Its States
Control Who May Transition One State To Another –On A Per Transition Basis
* Security In A Rule Design (User Rights): The Big Picture
Regardless of what rights a user is granted anywhere else in the system, if the rule governing a record the user is working with does not specify that user may do a certain activity with the record, than that user may not. The rights assigned in a rule are very important. A “deny” in a rule always outweighs any number of “allow” settings elsewhere.
