Business Rule

Server-side script that runs when records are displayed, inserted, updated, deleted or queried.

Definition

When values are before (modify current before save), after (act on other records), async (run in background) and display (populate g_scratchpad). Avoid current.update() in before/after rules to prevent recursion.

Example

if (current.priority == 1) gs.eventQueue('incident.p1', current);

Exam tip

Use before rules to change the current record; never call current.update() in a before rule.
