You can save a copy of an existing rule in a rule set. This is useful when you want to quickly add similar rules to the rule set without creating new rules. You make a copy of an existing rule, give it a unique name, and modify its properties as necessary.

There are two ways to make a copy of an existing rule: copy a rule with new name or save a rule as a new rule.

Copy a Rule with new Name

To copy a rule with new name

  1. Do one of the following:
    • If you have existing rule sets and rules, In the Business Rules Library, go to the Rule Sets tab. Double-click the rule set in which your intended rule is included. The Rule Set: Name panel opens.
    • If you are creating a new rule set and adding a rule to the rule set, click Rules > Add New Rule Set in the left navigation menu. Create a rule set, add attributes, and add a rule to the rule set.
  2. Go to the Rules tab.
  3. Select the rule to copy and click Copy Rule. The Save As New Rule window opens. The original rule name displays in the Rule Name field.
    Note: You can only copy one rule at a time.
  4. In Rule Name, enter a new name and click Save. You will see the copied rule in the Rules tab. You can now open and modify it as necessary.
