To configure a new automation rule for Incident Management
In the Process Manager portal, click Admin > Process Automation.
On the Available Services page, expand Incident Management and then click Service Dashboard.
On the Automation Rules page, in the Service Dashboard: INCIDENT-MGMT section, locate the ruleset to which you want to add a rule.
To the right of the ruleset, click the Actions symbol (orange lightning) and then click Add Rule.
In the Add Rule dialog box, in the How groups are evaluated area, select one of the following options:
Click Add Group.
In the How conditions in this group are evaluated area, select one of the following options:
Click Add Condition.
In the Add Condition drop-down list, select a condition for the rule.
To narrow the parameters of the condition, select an option from each drop-down list that appears or type the information in the specified field.
(Optional) Check Not to set a condition that inverts the selected condition so that the rule only executes if the condition is false.
The Not operator applies only to the condition, not to the entire rule.
Click the Plus symbol (blue plus sign) to add the condition.
Click Add Action.
In the Actions drop-down list, select an action to execute if the condition is met.
To narrow the parameters of the action, select an option from each drop-down list that appears or type the information in the specified field.
Click the Plus symbol (blue plus sign) to add the action.
In the Disposition (on successful actions) area, select one of the following options:
Continue
The containing ruleset should Continue and should run the next rule in the ruleset if a rule is satisfied and its actions run successfully.
Stop
The containing ruleset should Stop and should not run the next rule in the ruleset if a rule is satisfied and its actions run successfully.
The Disposition selection is only applicable to a rule if all conditions are met and all actions run successfully. If an error is generated during condition evaluation or action execution, the Disposition is ignored. In this situation, your selections in the Advanced section determine if the next rule should run.
If the conditions in the rule are not met, the next rule always runs, regardless of your Disposition selections.
(Optional) Click Advanced and select any of the following actions that you want to include in the ruleset:
Run next rule if condition fails to evaluate
Lets you run the next rule if an error is generated during the evaluation of any condition.
If this option is unchecked, the next rule does not run if an error is generated.
Run next rule if action fails to execute
Lets you run the next rule if an error is generated during the execution of any action.
If this option is unchecked, the next rule does run not if an error is generated.
Click Save.
