Rulesheets

Rulesheet Window

A Rulesheet is a file that contains a set of business rules. By organizing these rules, it becomes a self-contained, independent unit of automated decision-making. A Rule Project can include any number of Rulesheets.

Following test and validation, one or more Rulesheets may be assembled in a Ruleflow (see the Ruleflow chapter), packaged and deployed into a production environment.

Because a Rule Project may contain multiple Rulesheets, there are two methods of navigating between open Rulesheets within Corticon.js Studio:

• Double-clicking on any Rulesheet name in the Project Explorer window opens that Rulesheet and makes it active.
• Clicking on any Rulesheet tab makes that Rulesheet active.

Multiple Rulesheets may be open in Corticon.js Studio simultaneously, although only one may be active at any given time.

A Rulesheet file has the suffix .ers.

Opening a Rulesheet or making a Rulesheet the active Corticon.js Studio window causes the Studio menubar and toolbar to display the tools needed to begin working with rules.
