Creating a Policy Version

Overview​

When you require performing changes in the condition of a Policy, changes in the execution of a Policy, or adding vocabularies, it is necessary to create a new version. This version can be created in the Process module or in the Business Rules module.

Creating a New Policy Version​

  2. Select the process where the Policy is located.

    If the Policy belongs to an Application, search for it. Select Policies.

  3. Locate the Policy and right-click on it. Select Create New version.

Note​

When you create a new version of a Policy, you have three options. Consider the best option for your business case:

  • You can replace the new version of the policy as explained above, where it is already being used. Ongoing cases in Production will use the new version of the policy. Make sure the update does not affect the logic of the process.
  • You can create a new version of the process and relate the new version of the policy if the change in the Policy can damage ongoing cases.
  • You can use it in totally new activities of a totally different process.
