A rule group controls the timing and implementation of business rules.

The rule group editor is divided into several distinct areas, each with its own function.

The distinct areas of the rule group editor.
The areas are as follows:

    • To create a new interface or reference, click the The plus symbol icon, or to remove one, highlight it and click the The minus icon. icon.
  2. The rule logic area
    • This area displays the possible rule logic that the operation can be routed to. You can visually select your date and times using the interactive calendar, or create your own customized date-based selection algorithm in the Selection criteria field. Use the date and time field when you want distinct rule logics to apply during different periods. For example you may want to offer a discount on weekends, or you may have a sale which runs until noon.
    • To add new rule logic, click the The plus symbol icon, or to remove one, highlight it and click the The minus icon. icon.
  3. The properties area
