Designing Rules and Logical Expressions in Release 6.x and 7.x

The release 6.x Basic Rule Designer, Logic Designer, and Advanced Rules Designer have been replaced by the Rule Designer in release 7.0 and 7.5. The Rule Designer provides a series of natural-language rule templates that you can use to create rules of any complexity. You can also create and save your own rule templates.

The logical operators in the release 6.x Logic Designer are provided in picklists associated with the rule templates.

A special rule template is provided to enter rules in Siebel Configurator Rule Language (renamed Rule Assembly Language in release 7.0 and 7.5). The operators and syntax in release 6.x Siebel Configurator Rule Language are supported in release 7.0 and 7.5. Table 51 maps release 6.x features to release 7.0 and 7.5 for designing rules.
