Now that the rules have been discovered, we can model them in Corticon Studio. To get started, launch Corticon Studio by selecting Progress > Corticon Studio.

A workspace is a Windows directory where Corticon Studio rule projects are stored. Retain the default location and click OK in the Workspace Launcher dialog box. This opens Corticon Studio.

Set up the tutorial rule project

Corticon Studio comes with a built-in sample rule project for this tutorial. To open the sample:

  1. Click Samples on the Welcome page. (If you are not able to see the Welcome page right after you launch Corticon Studio, select Help > Welcome).

  2. On the Samples page, select Tutorial, and then click Open.

  3. In the Import Projects window, click OK.

The sample rule project opens in Corticon Studio.

Note: The sample download provides the vocabulary you will use to hands-on create the files and the rules for the project. The accompanying Tutorial-Done folder contains all the files that comprise the tutorial exercises (including a slightly modified vocabulary) so that you can prove your work, or—if you just want to audit the tutorial—click your way through the files.
