User-Defined Function Samples
InRule includes a selection of sample User Defined Functions, grouped in four categories.
Before you start
User-Defined Functions Tutorial
For an introduction to what UDFs are, when to use them, and how they fit into a rule application, start with the overview article: User-Defined Functions.
irScript Language Reference
UDFs are written in irScript, the expression language used throughout InRule. If you are creating or editing a UDF, the irScript Language Reference provides the syntax, operators, and built-in functions you will rely on. Reviewing it helps ensure your UDF logic is clear, consistent, and correct. See the section here, irScript Language Reference and User Guide.
