To generate status values, configure an action with the status value option.
For example, you might work for a bank that monitors the account status of its account holders on a daily basis. You define a rule statement that returns the predefined status value Invalid for accounts that are overdrawn and returns the Valid status value for other accounts. You can add the rule specification to a profile and configure the profile to generate metrics for the status values.
1Select a rule set in a rule specification.
2In the rule set properties, click Rule Logic.
3Click Add Rule Statement.
4Select an input for the rule statement.
- If the rule specification does not contain an input that you can use, create an input. Configure the input properties to represent the type of column that contains the business data.
5Select an operator to validate the results of the condition analysis.
- To evaluate whether the account balances are below zero, select the following operator:
is greater than or equal to
6Enter the value to compare to the data in the Input field. In this case, enter the digit 0.
The condition evaluates whether the input field contains positive or negative values.
7Select the type of action to apply to the data that satisfies the condition logic.
- To return a status value that represents the result of the condition, select the following action type:
status value
- Select the status value to return when the input data satisfies the condition. In this case, select Valid.
8Define an action to perform when no rule statement is valid.
- To return a status value that represents the result of the condition, select the following action type:
status value
- Select the status value to return when the input data does not satisfy the earlier condition. In this case, select Invalid.
