Stop an action and show a clear message when a rule finds a problem
Also listed as: Rule exceptions in form lifecycle methods
What is it?
Rules that run when a form loads or saves can raise an exception: they stop the action and show staff a clear message explaining what needs fixing.
Why does it matter?
Bad data is caught at the point of entry, and staff know straight away what to correct.
Start thinking about
- Is your written policy kept current enough to serve as the source for your business rules?
- Who in the business confirms that a rule matches policy before it is released?
- How would you show an auditor or appeals officer why a rule produced a particular decision?
- How do you test rule changes today, and where does your test data come from?
- Do you have an approved policy for AI-assisted development, and who owns it?
- How will you plan rule changes driven by new legislation alongside your upgrade schedule?
