Although the documentation of the policy is optional, it is good practice to include it. Supporting files will enable users to understand the purpose of the policy.

 

5. A new window will display the Policy Manager where you will be able to create, edit or delete Policies.

Select the policy to develop the Policy Rules, Decision tables, Rule Groups and Preconditions.
