About creating dynamic business rules

You must have at least one zone and one style before you can create rules.

After you have created zones and styles, you can start creating the dynamic business rules themselves. It is not necessary to create additional rule groups unless your application requires it. If you want to create additional rule groups before you create a rule, see About grouping rules.

As mentioned in Suggested workflow using Endeca tools to promote records, a developer usually creates the preliminary rules and the other constructs in Developer Studio, and then hands off the project to a business user to fine tune the rules and create additional rules in Endeca Workbench. However, the business user can use Endeca Workbench to perform any of the tasks described in the following sections that are related to creating a rule. For details, see Endeca Workbench Help.
