Business Rules

A business rule is a collection of component sets or business rule components that can be used to incorporate logic or to add, change, or remove data or print parameters after a print request is submitted but before printing occurs. Business rules are similar to rules, but provide more robust functionality. Business rules can be designed using the Configurator or programmed using XML.

Best Practice

Use priority values to control the execution order of business rule components. Additionally, within a business rule it is recommended that you list peer business rule components in execution order so that the business rule will be easier for others to understand.

A business rule must use the following structure and adhere to XML syntax.

Important! Content in a business rule is case sensitive. This includes business rule component names, attributes, and values.
