Rule Definition Versioning

For an Authorizer:

When you create a new rule, its version will be 0. When you edit an existing rule and try to save, you are prompted whether to save it as a new version or not. If you click Yes, a new rule is created with version as 0 and the rule having version as 0 will be saved with the version as maximum version +1. If you click No, the existing rule is overwritten and the version will be as it is.

For a Non-Authorizer:

When you create a new rule, its version will be -1. Once the rule is approved by an authorizer, the version becomes 0. When you edit an existing rule and try to save, you are prompted whether to save it as a new version or not. If you click Yes, a new rule is created with version as -1. Once the rule is approved, its version becomes 0 and the rule having version as 0 will be saved with version as maximum version +1. If you click No, the existing rule is overwritten and the Active flag of the rule becomes N (which you can view from the Summary window). The version remains the same. Once the rule gets approved, its Active flag changes to Y.

Note:

• The rule with version 0 is the latest one and it can have many versions say 1 to n, where 1 is the oldest rule and n is the next to the latest.
• A rule with version -1 is always in an inactive state.

You can view all the versions of a particular rule by providing the rule’s name or code and clicking Search in the Search and Filter grid. (Ensure the Version field is cleared since it is auto populated with 0).
