When you create a business rule, you are running a test against rows or values in a single attribute (ABR) or rows in an entity (EBR). There are multiple ways to view the results of these compliance tests:
- Drill down on passing and failing rows and/or values (and groups of EBRs if applicable).
- Verify the status of the rule's passing fraction and result column.
- Examine business rule compliance checks.
- Set up email notification alerts that are triggered by business rule compliance results.
Add a Column to View EBR Results
You can use the Choose Column feature in a Data Row List View to add an attribute (displayed in the List View as a column) that will contain the results of rules you include in EBR expressions. Give the attribute a name that represents the results of the data value or the function that you will be comparing or testing the rule against.
For example, if you are working with business data and you want to see the product stock you currently have available, you could create an attribute named Available and write a business rule expression that subtracts the products ordered from the products on hand: ([On Hand] - Ordered). The resulting values display in a column named Available for all rows of products in the entity.
You add columns using two methods:
- When you create an entity (see Creating an Entity), in the Preview List View window. This adds a new, permanent attribute that remains in the entity after data is imported.
- After you create an entity, when you are working with your data in a Data Rows List View. This creates an active attribute that displays in the List View but is not analyzed or added to the entity. For information, see Creating a Column in List View.
