Create Business Policy Rules

Step through the wizard to create a rule, as follows:

1. Under Basic Information, provide information that describes the scope and purpose of the rule. The following fields are not self-explanatory:

   Score

   A numeric value (0-100) that defines the risk level of a violation of this rule. This score is compared to the universe risk thresholds during certification, and used to categorize warnings for the violation as high, medium, or low.

   Note: For more information about risk thresholds, see the Configuration Guide.

   Default: 50

   Owner

   Defines the user responsible for the rule.

   Compliance Message

   Defines the message that is displayed when viewing the warning for the rule violation.

   Business Area/Business Process

   Text fields that define the scope and purpose of the rule. These fields are descriptive and do not affect processing of the rule.

2. Under logic, specify values for the following fields to define the underlying logic of the rule:

   Type

   Specifies the rule type that defines what entities are examined to identify violations.

   Restriction

   Specifies the restrictions for examined entities.

3. Under Data, define the entities that are examined. You can select individual entities, or specify attribute values to select a group of entities.

   Many types of rules compare two sets of entities. In these cases, the Data screen is divided into two areas, left and right, and the logic of the rule is stated in terms of these two groups.

   For other types of rules you define numerical thresholds, date ranges, or text matching patterns.

4. The Summary screen displays rule settings, and lets you test the rule against the reference configuration before you create the rule.
