Rules Concept
Business rules in AppBase Eccentex are a powerful tool that can be used to automate and enforce business logic within applications. Business rules can be used to perform a variety of tasks, such as:
- Making business decisions: Business rules can be used to make business decisions, such as whether to approve a loan application or grant a discount to a customer.
- Validating data: Business rules can be used to validate user data to ensure it is accurate and complete.
- Integrating with other systems: Business rules can be used to integrate AppBase Eccentex applications with other systems, such as CRM systems and ERP systems.
- Routing work: Business rules can be used to route work to the appropriate people or teams.
Business rules are typically defined in AppBase Eccentex using the Business Rules module. Business rules can be written in various languages, including SQL, JavaScript, and C#.
The DLL Extensions feature in AppBase Eccentex allows you to upload DLLs and then call procedures from them using rules. This is useful for complex business logic or importing already-written procedures. For example, you could use the DLL Extensions feature to upload a DLL that contains a procedure for calculating a customer's credit score. You could then call this procedure from a business rule to automatically calculate the credit score of any customer who applies for a loan.
Business rules can help you to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of your business processes. By automating business logic and enforcing business rules, you can reduce the risk of errors and improve the consistency of your business operations.
Here are some additional examples of how business rules can be used in AppBase Eccentex:
- A customer service application could use business rules to assign customer tickets to the appropriate support representatives automatically.
- A sales application could use business rules to generate quotes for customers based on their needs automatically.
- A project management application could use business rules to automatically send reminders to project managers when tasks are due to be completed.
- A human resources application could use business rules to calculate employee salaries and benefits automatically.
AppBase Eccentex makes it easy to create and manage business rules, and the DLL Extensions feature provides additional flexibility for complex business logic.
