You can use business rules to calculate data. Some business rules prompt you to enter information, called a runtime prompt. After you enter required information and launch a business rule, the data is updated.
Your administrator can set up data forms to automatically launch business rules when you open or save data forms. You can also launch business rules from several contexts.
To launch a business rule:
Depending on where you are working:
When a data form is open, its associated business rules are listed in the left bottom pane. Double-click any business rule.
With a data form open, from the top menu, select Tools, then Business Rules. Select the business rules to launch and click Launch.
If menus are set up in a data form, right-click a row or column member in the data form, and select a business rule from the right-click menu. See Entering Data with Menus.
From a task list, see Working with Task Lists.
Outside of data forms, from the menu, select Tools, then Business Rules.
See Launching Business Rules in Classic Applications and Launching Business Rules in Performance Management Architect Applications.
If the business rule includes runtime prompts, enter the required information, launch the business rule, and click Close (see Entering Runtime Prompts).
If the calculation is successful, the values in the database reflect the calculation results.
