Store business rules in the rules repository

Rules Repository

Store business rules in Appian's rules repository with hierarchical folder management. Each rule is individually secured and version controlled with the ability to roll-back to earlier rule versions.

Create rules via a simple web-based interface

Rules Creation

Create rules that support complex decisions, data transformations, global constants, and data queries. Rules are created through Appian's simple web-based expression interface with support for testing and validation before deployment.

Rules can be applied to forms, processes or reports in Appian's BPM Software

Rules Accessibility

Apply rules to support far more than just process decision logic. A single rule may be applied to support dynamic forms, process flow, and even report rendering. Appian's ability to apply rules in many locations makes creating a rich and dynamic rule driven process application simple.

Design, test and validate rules to identify inconsistencies

Rules Validation

Design and test enterprise rules to find issues, identify inconsistencies, and validate before publishing. Appian’s rule testing allows designers to immediately validate business rule logics and make instant changes in design mode.

Execute thousands of rules within the Appian BPM Software execution framework

Rules Processing

Execute thousands of rules in parallel with Appian’s robust and scalable rule execution framework. Appian engines may be linearly scaled to 16 parallel processing servers to accommodate the most demanding of enterprises.

Use a Java plugin to create custom rule expressions and functions

Rules Extensibility

Develop custom rule expressions and functions as Appian Smart Services using a standard Java OSGi plug-in framework. Make it easy to publish, share, and reuse customs rules by other developers and less technical business analysts.
