Rule management/maintenance questions

[Jeremy Gillies]

Hi,

We're considering implementing using Open Rules and have a couple of questions about creating an external user interface.

1) can the rules only be defined in Java or xml?

2) Is there any way of maintaining those rules in a non-techy, high level way (eg business users to edit)?

Many thanks

Jeremy

1) Yes, see External Rules http://openrules.com/pdf/OpenRulesUserManual.ExternalRules.pdf

2) OpenRules is especially friendly for "a non-techy" and offers them standardized decision tables that can be created, tested and maintained by business people directly in their favorite Excel or Google Docs. See this popular tutorial: http://openrules.com/pdf/Tutorial.DecisionPatientTherapy.pdf

Thanks for your swift reply. We're still evaluating as we're interested in an easy to use UI for the creation of rules.
