Configuring action workers for a decision rule
The system provides action workers that can be used in a decision rule to create a follow-up action or a topic score. Each action worker might require additional attribute sets to process the business event. You must configure an attribute set for each action worker you need and link this attribute set to the decision rule.
 | If you need a custom action worker, it is possible to extend the action workers via Planon Apps. In the App you can create a new action worker by implementing the interface: IDecisionRuleAction. After the App is installed and activated you can select the new action worker in the decision rule. |
If you want to use the action workers provided by the system you must create one or more of the following additional attribute sets, for use in the decision rules:
