Associating Rule Sets with Applets

Rule sets are associated with one or more applets. These are the applets to which the business rules for the rule set apply. NREC is using Personalization to filter the list of houses for sale based on a user's ZIP Code. When users view the list of houses for sale, they will only see the houses for sale in their area. In this case, the applets to which the Personalization rule applies are the Product Form Applet and the Product List Applet.

To associate a rule set with an applet

  1. In a Siebel employee application, navigate to Personalization Administration > Applets.

    2. The Applets view appears.

  2. In the Applets list, enter a new record for the Product List Applet.
  3. In the Rule Sets list, add a new record for the Rule Set you created as described in Creating Rule Sets.

    4. Field

    The date when the conditional expression starts to be evaluated. If Start Date is blank, the conditional expression is evaluated continuously or until the End Date is reached.
    End Date
    Leave blank
    The date after which the conditional expression is not evaluated. If End Date is blank, the conditional expression is evaluated continuously after the Start Date. If both Start and End Date are blank, the conditional expression is always evaluated.
