The Rule Designer is a powerful declarative utility used to create custom logic within DataGroomr using clicks, not code. The Rule Designer is accompanied by the Supervisr Rules: Rule Preview Section and the Supervisr Rules: Detail Editor to showcase the function of the rule being build on a live basis.
The tabs on the left side contain components that can be dragged to the work area, connected and configured in order to construct a completed rule.
- Blocks in a rule are executed sequentially from top to bottom
- The valid top-level blocks in a rule are "for [____] fields", "for [____] records" and "distribute values";
- Multiple loops can be included in each rule and multiple blocks can be nested in each loop;
- Many blocks include drop down fields that will contain all available options. For components with field names, the drop-down list will include all the fields listed in the Available Fields area.
- Functions and logic are specific to the rule type being designed
