Code	Reference name for the rule

Comment	Descriptive label for the rule

Type	Indicates whether the rule is a definition, a fact, a
	formula, or a validation

Expression	Presence of associated expression

Notes	Presence of associated notes

Creating a business rule

Before you create business rules, formulate your rules by asking yourself the following questions:

♦What business problems do I want to address?

♦Are there any procedures that my system must respect?

♦Do any specifications dictate the scope of my project?

♦Do any constraints limit my options?

♦How do I describe each of these procedures, specifications, and constraints?

♦How do I classify these descriptions: as definitions, facts, formulas, or validation rules?
