About Rule Bases

A Rule Base is a feature located at the top of the Expert Rule/Check hierarchy.


  • A Rule Base is automatically created when accessing the Knowledge Expert workbench.
  • Only one Rule Base can be added to a product or a representation. But a product with its Rule Base can refer to components having their own Rule Bases.
  • A Rule Base can be activated or deactivated. It can be made up of several About Rule Sets. When a Rule Base is deactivated, the features below are deactivated too.
  • A Rule Base has no effect on a document until a solve operation is launched. The purpose of the solve operation consists in firing (or executing) the active relations in the active rule sets.
