The Business Rule Designer allows you to configure relationships between input and output attributes using direct links between the input or using methods from the Method Palette. The area where you map attributes in the Business Rule Designer is called the Mapper.
Some attributes are automatically created for each activity when you drag and drop a component on the Business Process Designer. You can also manually create attributes in the Business Process Properties.
The Business Rule Designer has a Method Palette from which you can select methods to manipulate data. Use these methods to configure data passed between input and output nodes.
The Business Rule Designer toolbar is shown in Figure 1; the icons are described in Table 7.
