New business rule variables

New in 10.0, Guidewire has added the ability to create rule variables that store a specific expression or value for later re-use in the rule condition and action builders. A variable expression can take any of the following forms:
  • Formula
  • Count
  • Sum
  • Lookup

See Working with business rule variables for more information.

New Lookup expressions in business rules

New in PolicyCenter 10.0 is the ability to create Lookup expressions in business rules. A lookup expression is a named function (query) that takes one or more inputs and returns a single value from a database lookup table. A common use is to create a rule variable that uses a Lookup expression and then use that variable in the rule condition and action builders.

See Lookup functions in data lookup tables for more information.
