If theconditions are satisfied (evaluate to ‘true’), the actions are executed. Forexample, here is a rule with 3 conditions and 1 action:IFMasterCatalog is ‘MastCat1’ andProduct Department is ‘ProdDept A’ andDocument Type is ‘Add Product’THENApprover is ‘Manager_123’• Rule Domain (Also called Rule Meta Model): A rule domain is a collection ofall conditions and actions required for processing a unit of the businessprocess. It is defined in XML.• Rule Template (Also called Rule Model): A rule template is a subset of theconditions and actions from a rule domain. It has a selection of the conditionsand actions that would be used to define the rules. The templates are definedusing the user interface.• Rule Instance (Or just Rule): A rule is an instance of a rule template. The userinterface is used to define the rule.• Default Rule: A default rule is a special rule in which all conditions are set to‘Any’. This rule is fired only if no other rules are fired in that domain. Therecan be only one default rule per domain.TIBCO MDM Customization Guide
