Business Rule

The Business Rule Validation Task is used to implement conditional functionality in the application. It evaluates a predefined condition, and based on whether the condition is met, the application decides the next steps.

For instance, this task acts like a checkpoint:

• If the condition is true, specific actions are triggered.
• If the condition is false, those actions are skipped or alternate ones are executed.

Common Uses:

1. Loan Approval Process:
   • Set a condition to check if a user’s credit score is above a threshold. If the condition is met, tasks like sending loan approval documents and updating the user’s account are executed.
2. Account Activity Validation:
   • Implement a rule to check if the user’s account status is “Active.” If the condition is satisfied, enable tasks like fund transfers or bill payments; otherwise, restrict access to these features.

This task enables dynamic workflows by aligning actions with predefined business logic, enhancing decision-making within the application.

Configuration

When you create a task, its configuration page opens in which you define its basic and advanced properties. These are as follows:

Basic

Basic Properties	Description
Task Type	The Task Type indicates what kind of task you are creating. This is a read-only field since you select the type when you create the task and cannot change it during the configuration stage.
Reference Name	The Reference Name acts as a unique internal identifier for the task. This is visible to vFlow users for ease of reference but is hidden from end users. This allows users of the platform to manage and differentiate between tasks conveniently.
Name	The name defined here will be displayed to the end user.
Description	The Description field is intended for use by application designers or administrators (vFlow users) to provide additional context or details about the task group. This description is not visible to end-users and is used solely for internal reference to assist with task management.
