Policy Components
A Policy is structured upon four basic components that define it's logic.
These are:
Simple Rules
Decision Tables
Rule Groups
Preconditions
General features of the Business Policy component editor
Each component of the policy can be created and published from Bizagi Studio by using a generic editor that varies according to the component.
The different tabs and work area, which allow access to the functions for each component, can be found in the editor’s main screen:
- Properties Tab
- General properties
- Additional contexts
- Components
- Documentation Tab
- Design Environment
Properties Tab
This tab is displayed in the lateral tool bar which is common to the entire components editor. Three tabs are found in the tool bar:
General properties
Here the fields describe the policy and define it's period of validity.
