• Key Concepts: 
  Rule Definition is a feature of SAP Information Steward (EIM-IS) that allows users to define rules for data quality and integrity. These rules can be used to detect errors, inconsistencies, and anomalies in data sets. The rules can be based on user-defined criteria or pre-defined rules from the system. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use Rule Definition, users must first define the criteria for the rule. This can include conditions such as data type, value range, or other parameters. Once the criteria is set, users can then define the action that should be taken when the rule is triggered. This could include sending an alert, flagging the data for review, or taking other corrective action. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating rules, it is important to consider how they will interact with each other. For example, if two rules have conflicting criteria, it may be necessary to adjust one of them so that they do not conflict. Additionally, it is important to test the rules before deploying them in a production environment.
