Rule associations for enrichment and validation run when you update records in approval workflows.
If your organization has approval workflows configured, rule associations for enrichment and validation work the same way as they do during record creation and updates.
Submitting records for approval
When a data steward submits records for approval, the rule associations configured to run on record submission enrich and validate the records. The results are applied and saved to the records. A business event then moves the records into the approval workflow, and a task is created in the Workflow Inbox.
Editing records from the Workflow Inbox
When you claim a task, edit a record, and apply changes to a section, rule associations configured to run during section save run on the record. The results appear in the section but aren't saved yet.
When you save the record, the rule associations run again, and the results are applied to the record that's in the pending state. The edits and the results remain in the pending record and are saved to the record only when you approve the record.
Resolving the task
The action that you take to resolve the task determines what happens to the record that's in the pending state:
•Approve. Saves the changes including edits and the results of rule associations to the record.
•Reject. Discards all edits and results of rule associations that ran when you click Save.
•Release. Returns the task to the pool of unassigned tasks. The record remains in the pending state with its edits and the results of rule associations. The user who claims the task next can view the changes.
Multi-step approval workflows
In a multi-step approval workflow, such as MDM Two Step Approval or MDM Four Step Approval, enrichment and validation repeat at each step. For example, after you approve a record, if the second user edits the record, rule associations run again when the user edits and saves the record.
CLAIRE recommendations
If your organization has rule associations configured to display enrichment data as recommendations, the recommendations appear in the CLAIRE panel after you apply changes to a section and save the record. You can accept or reject recommendations.
