About Declare OnChange rules

Updated on April 5, 2022

Create Declare OnChange rules to run an activity automatically at activity step boundaries when the value of a specified property changes. This capability provides a form of automatic forward chaining.

The following tabs are available on this form:

For example, a Declare OnChange rule can update a year-to-date counter property (an integer) to track how many times a work item status changed in value. Another Declare OnChange rule can compute the average dollar amount of work items entered by a team, in real time.

Declare OnChange rules can force all processing on a work item to be suspended pending an independent review of the situation. The independent review is supported by one or more flows. This feature can support compliance, fraud detection, and quality control staffs.

Where referenced

No other rules explicitly reference Declare OnChange rules. After you save a Declare OnChange rule, it is run immediately and as needed.

Access
