Destination Rule Wizard - Adding a Destination Set Rule

Contextualized Assistance: Destination Rule Planning Scenarios

The Destination Set Rule wizard screen is used to configure the Destination Set Rule that should be used with the workflow. Destinations will be added when this rule evaluates to True. Destination Rules are created per Destination Set. If more than one Destination Set is used, Destination Set Rules will be created on each Destination Set. If Expense Claims should be directed to different departments according to the amount of the claim, different Destination Sets will be created representing the different departments and Destination Set Rules will be added per department. The rules would typically be set up as follows:

Financial Administration: If ExpenseClaimAmount < $3000

Financial Management: If ExpenseClaimAmount  > $3000

The Destination Set Rule is not a required feature. If no Destination Set Rule is configured, no validation will be performed and destinations will be added.

Indent

To provide more clarity on the Indent feature, the following Expressions have been configured. In this instance, both expressions will evaluate separately and from top to bottom.

In the following instance, the user wants expressions 1 and 2 to be evaluated together and expressions 3 and 4 to be evaluated together. Select the Or operator on the Destination Set Rule screen and click Indent Right. This will ensure that the 3rd and 4th expressions are evaluated separately from the first two expressions. In mathematical terms this would relate to the following:

(ExpenseClaimAmount > 3000 AND ExpenseType = FoodAndBeverages) OR (ExpenseClaimAmount > 10000 AND ExpenseType = Equipment)
