Processing regulatory events by using rules
You can process incoming regulatory events from Thomson Reuters Regulatory Intelligence or Wolters Kluwer by using rules.
About this task
You use rules to trigger automated workflows. An automated workflow has only two types of stages: a start stage and one or more end stages. An automated workflow progresses from one stage to another automatically, without user interaction. OpenPages® provides sample automated workflows. You can also create your own. When you create a workflow, enable the Automated option. The workflow is then available to use in rules.
OpenPages provides sample rules, which you can use or modify to meet your requirements. The sample rules are disabled by default. You can also create your own rules.
When a regulatory event is created, it's evaluated against all the rules that are enabled. For each rule, if its conditions are met, the automated workflow that is configured in the rule is started. A regulatory event can trigger more than one rule. The assignees and criticality are passed to the workflow as process variables. The workflow can use these parameters in values or regular expressions.
