Decision Data rule form
Completing the Data tab

Depending on the decision data class definition selected when creating the decision data rule, this tab displays the elements that business users can control. Saving the decision data rule allows you to test the changes to the decision data. Checking in the changes makes the changes available to all users. Typically, the changes to control parameters are made available by system architects in the process of activating a revision that contains the corresponding decision data rule.

Decision data rule can serve one the following purposes, it can contain:

• all the propositions for a particular group
• proposition control parameters
• global control parameters

Decision data records in the Proposition Management landing page

You can view the available decision data records in the Hierarchy tab of the Proposition Management landing page. The Decision data records list displays groups which are converted. Click on a group to manage your propositions:

• New - add a new proposition
• Export - export propositions to a .csv file
• Import - import propositions from a .csv file
• Delete - delete a selected proposition

You can also delete a selected proposition by clicking the trash-can icon at the right end of the row.

• Search - enter a value in the text box and click the button to narrow the amount of propositions displayed in the list

For details, see the Proposition Management landing page.

Decision Data: Proposition Control Parameters

While creating this rule, you need to select the SR class or any class that inherits from the SR class for the decision data class definition. Proposition Control Parameters rule can contain a set of values that are available in a context of a particular proposition.

Use the following buttons to manage propositions in the rule:

• New - add a new proposition
• Export - export propositions to a .csv file
• Import - import propositions from a .csv file
• Delete - delete a selected proposition

You can also delete a selected proposition by clicking the trash-can icon at the right end of the row.

• Search - enter a value in the text box and click the button to narrow the amount of propositions displayed in the list

Decision Data: Global Control Parameters

To create such rule, your decision data class definition cannot be SR class or inherit from SR class. Global control parameters can contain a simple list of values not specific to any proposition. In this rule, you can create any properties that you want to use in strategies.

System architects define the content of decision data rules by configuring the pyEditElements and pyEditElement sections. The pyEditElements section defines the list of items (for example, proposition) and the pyEditElement section defines the parameters for each element (for example, marketing weight, start data and active/inactive proposition).

The following list provides the overview of key points that you need to know when using the decision data extension points.

• The starting point is an initial decision data instance under the appropriate class.
• In the initial decision data instance, use the customize section button to override the pyEditElement section @baseclass, and initialize the data model and the basic decision data implementation.
• The natural place for the specialized sections is the class that contains the data model required to support the decision data. The class containing the pyEditElement and pyEditElements sections is called the decision data definition class.
• The pyEditElement section defines the parameters for each element (for example, marketing weight, start date and active/inactive proposition), and the controls that allow business users to change parameters.
