Configuring a Formula Rule

This configuration of the Run Rule activity allows you to use one of your formula rules and reference the result elsewhere in your process.

To configure a formula rule:

  1. Drag the Run Rule activity from the toolbox pane and drop it in the Designer pane.
  2. In the properties pane, type a name and description of the activity.
    The name and description editors
  3. In the Rule property box, select Formula.
  4. Select the rule and version. The version corresponds to the "Major" version number for the rule.
  5. Under Input Values, specify the token and/or hard-coded values you want to use for each input parameter.

    Example: The following input name date is replaced with the value in the %(Date) token.

  6. Under Output Values, specify the name of the token that contains the results of the formula.

    Example: The following output token EvalResult contains the result of the formula.

  7. Under Rows to Return, specify the number of results to return when more than one row matches the inputs. This is especially useful when a data query finds all rows in a table of 10,000 rows, but you only want the first three rows.
