Using Fields to Author Your Conditions or Rule Logic, or Both

Fields including initial field values are available at different places in Business Rules when they have been enabled for a region:

• Conditions
• Simple or advanced expressions to write the rule logic, or default a field value, or both

Note:

Fields that can be used in the conditions, both simple and advanced expressions are limited to the fields and direct attributes available in the page and that are listed in the Regions and Fields section.

Using Conditions, Simple Expression, Advanced Expression and JavaScript (JS)

You can build simple rules using the condition builder to define when to trigger the defaulting or validation rules.

Use simple expressions to default a value with another field value, or to transform data before assigning the value to a field.

Use advanced expressions in conditions, if:

• The available operators aren't sufficient to write the rule logic.
• You need to transform data. Note that the use of JS in advanced expression is strictly limited to data transformation like substring, day of, and so on.
