Properties

You can assign values to predefined property names for the business rules you add to a rule project.

Properties contain management and execution information on business rules. They are useful to help you manage your business rules. For example, you can query business rules based on the value of a property.

You can add new properties to business rules by using rule model extensions. These rule model extensions are synchronized between Rule Designer and Decision Center. You view and edit properties in the Properties view:
