Independent Rule sets

note

Independent rule sets have been deprecated in irAuthor Web as we recommend using Decisions over Independent rule sets. However, Independent rule sets created on a rule application in irAuthor Desktop will be visible and editable in irAuthor Web.

Independent rule sets are used when rules need to run without an entity context, so any required data must be passed in as parameters at execution time.

They are typically executed explicitly by another rule, action, or application, often with parameters supplied to control their behavior.

Because they are not tied to a specific entity, they allow logic to be defined once and invoked wherever needed.

They are located under the Independent folder in the Rules navigation.

Rule set parameters

Independent rule sets support parameters. Parameters define values that can be passed into and returned from a rule set, they can be added from the rule set view when editing an independent rule set.
