Create a Ruleset

This chapter will guide you through all aspects of creating Rulesets.

If you just want to create a Ruleset as fast as possible, please read the chapter "Quick Start".

Introduction

This guide explains how to create a ruleset in every detail.

Rulesets are the foundation of Rulecube. You can think of them as the general container that contains all elements to implement a set of rules that calculates a result that you process in external software such as a web app. This way, rulesets enable you to implement your business rules software-wise and apply them to your software or data engineering pipeline via an API.

Before you begin

  • Think of a self-explanatory and specific name for your ruleset. For example, Loan discount calculation is clearer than LoanCalculation.

Procedure

There are two ways to create a ruleset:

  • From scratch.

  • By copying an existing ruleset.

Next, you'll find procedures for both ways.
