Defining Properties for a Business Rule Process

Properties are variables that are used either to facilitate flow of data in and out of a process or to store information temporarily for the life of the process.

Properties can be either global process properties or local procedure properties. Global properties are available for all procedures which are associated with the business rule process.

The property name must begin with a letter. It can contain alphanumeric, space(s), underscore, and hyphen. The name cannot contain other special characters such as @ or !.

Property names are case sensitive and limited to 75 characters.

NOTE:  If a procedure defines a local property of the same name as a global property, the local property takes precedence over the global property within the scope of that procedure.

This step is part of Process of Defining Business Rule Processes.
