About Using Business Rules Documentation

This guide uses the term rules in two ways:

• Business rules is the familiar connotation for well-defined business processes.
• Rules are also the logical statements constructed in HaleyAuthority that capture and implement business processes in Siebel applications. Typically in this document, mention of creating, deploying, and implementing rules refers to HaleyAuthority rule statements.
