Creating Terms

A term is a user-friendly name that refers to the data library content. It's essentially a piece of information that could exist in the PeopleSoft system or an external system, or it could be derived. For example, the data could be available in the component buffer; retrieved using a PS Query or an SQL object; or computed using an application class.

Terms are the building blocks in policies. Functional users can build conditions for a policy using terms present in the data library. Terms must be registered in the PeopleSoft Active Analytics Framework before they can be used.

Registering a term is a multistep process that includes:

1. Developing an implementation.

2. Registering the implementation.

3. Defining the term.

4. Associating the term with one or more subject areas.

5. Testing and activating the term.
