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.

Decision Table

A structured table format that maps multiple conditions to corresponding outcomes and actions.

RuleSet

A collection of predefined rules that work in concert to evaluate complex scenarios and determine appropriate actions.

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.

Decision Tree

A hierarchical, branching structure that creates visual decision paths through nested conditions.

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
