# Rule Types Nected provides a comprehensive suite of rule types designed to handle various business logic scenarios, from simple conditional statements to complex decision-making processes. Each rule type serves specific use cases and offers unique capabilities to help you implement your business logic effectively. ### Supported Rule Types


Simple Rule	A straightforward if/then/else statement-based rule that provides an intuitive way to implement basic conditional logic.	SimpleRule.png	simplerule
Decision Table	A structured table format that maps multiple conditions to corresponding outcomes and actions.	DT.png	decisiontable
RuleSet	A collection of predefined rules that work in concert to evaluate complex scenarios and determine appropriate actions.	RS.png	ruleset
Rule Chain	A sequential execution framework that connects multiple rules in a defined order, where the output of one rule can serve as input for subsequent rules.	chain.png	rule-chain
Decision Tree	A hierarchical, branching structure that creates visual decision paths through nested conditions.	Decision tree.png	decision-tree

### Choosing the Right Rule Type Selecting the appropriate rule type depends on your specific requirements: | Scenario | Recommended Rule Type | | ----------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------- | | Single condition with simple outcome | SimpleRule | | Multiple conditions with various outcomes in tabular format | DecisionTable | | Hierarchical decisions with branching paths | DecisionTree | | Collection of related rules executed together | Ruleset | | Sequential processing with dependencies | RuleChain |
