Rules in KRMS are placed into ordered sets called Agendas. The order of the Rules in an Agenda determines the sequencing: which rule gets evaluated first, second and so on. The Agenda also enables you to include conditional branching logic between Rules. In turn, Agendas are created in Contexts, which may represent any categories that are relevant within your institution. For example, they could correspond to document types or business processes or any other categories, such as licensing. Each Context contains its own agendas, and each Agenda contains its own rules. Rules aren't shared across agendas (though you can copy/paste, they become unique Rule instances), and Agendas aren't shared across Contexts. There is no Context hierarchy, that is, Agendas and Rules cannot be inherited across contexts within any sort of hierarchy.
Tip
Copy rules to save time and typing.
The Agenda Editor includes two unique tabs—Agenda and Rules.
The Agenda tab contains information in which to both identify the Agenda itself and where the Agenda will be applied.

of true and false conditions. Actions can be set to occur when proposition requirements are met.
Once add is clicked, OLE brings up a new set of fields.
Give the proposition a Description.
Select a Category, Term, and Comparison from the drop down lists. Categories help to narrow down the terms. Terms define a piece of business data that can be used in the construction of proposition (i.e. student GPA, account number, salary, etc.). Enter the Value to set the term (i.e. a student GPA of 4.0, "4.0" is the value)
In the Action tab, users can define the action that will be fired when the Proposition is evaluated.
Select the Type of action from the drop down menu. Depending on your selection, additional fields will become available.
