Purpose

Create Declare OnChange rules to run an activity automatically at activity step boundaries when the value of a specified property changes. This capability provides a form of automatic forward chaining.

For example, a Declare OnChange rule can update a year-to-date counter property (an integer) to track how many times a work object status changed in value. Another Declare OnChange rule can compute the average dollar amount of work objects entered by a work group, in real time.

Declare OnChange rules can force all processing on a work object to be suspended pending an independent review of the situation. The independent review is supported by one or more flow rules. This feature can support compliance, fraud detection, and quality control staffs.

Where referenced

No other rules explicitly reference Declare OnChange rules. After you save a Declare OnChange rule, Process Commander immediately thereafter runs it when and as needed.
