Overview of Calculate Rules

Calculate rules are business rules that calculate various segment values necessary for a case.  Calculate rules consist of an input math and calculation section, MathVariable validation and a mapping output section.  The math section pulls in any necessary input values and performs required calculations.  Validations can be configured to validate any math variables that just processed.  The output section of a Calculate General rule includes a mapping section that can write calculated values to AsCaseField, AsSegmentField, AsClientField, and AsRoleField.

• When calculating a segment the segment fields should be mapped to the segment being calculated.  

• Any field included in the output mapping must be defined in the destination screen rule such as the PolicyScreen or Segment business rule.  

Note:  A calculate button or a save button must be configured on the desired screen with the RULE attribute equaling the name of the Calculate rule to be invoked.
