Order of Execution

Rules are executed in the order in which they are listed in the rule set. CA IdentityMinder executes each rule in a rule set separately, and transparently continues to each subsequent rule in the rule set unless a rule fails.

Because validation rules are executed in a predictable order, you can implement rules whose actions are dependent upon the outcome of previous rules, as in the following examples:

• One rule’s output can become input to the next rule.
• When a field value is changed during validation, the new value can be evaluated in subsequent rules.
