Support Alias for Aggregate Functions in Simplified Rules Configuration Spreadsheets

Define aliases for aggregate functions in the Simplified Rules Configuration Spreadsheets. This lets users assign aliases to aggregated results, which can then be referenced across multiple conditions in rule definitions.

Users can now assign aliases to aggregated results (e.g., Total Accounted Debit, Total Accounted Credit) and utilize these aliases in multiple conditions for seamless comparisons.

This feature enhances the flexibility and efficiency of handling aggregated data in rule configurations, especially for customers who need to compare aggregated values within their business processes.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Tips And Considerations

• The aggregation pop-up allows for free-text input as well as selection from a list of predefined aliases, improving ease of use.
• Additionally, if an alias is defined, entering an operator or right-hand expression becomes optional.
• To ensure clarity, mandatory fields in the aggregation window are clearly marked.
