Writing Rules

Rules specify the actions to take when specific conditions occur.

An individual rule performs one or more tests on the data that is passed in to the rule service, and executes one or more actions when the test conditions are met. Logically related rules are grouped into rulesets that implement complete business policies.

In Falcon Expert a rule typically evaluates the data in a transaction, the score returned by the Scoring Server, or both. A rule can also evaluate any UDVs that are available for the transaction type. The rules for each type of transaction are grouped into a ruleset in the project corresponding to that type of transaction. The rule actions typically send advice to the authorization system, or create a case.
