  Key Concepts: 
  A rule task is a type of task in SAP Information Steward (EIM-IS) that allows users to define rules to detect data quality issues. Rule tasks are used to identify data issues such as incorrect values, missing values, and duplicate values. The rules can be based on user-defined criteria or predefined rules. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To create a rule task, users must first define the criteria for the rule. This includes specifying the data source, the columns to be analyzed, and the conditions that must be met for the rule to be triggered. Once the criteria is defined, users can then create the rule task and specify the action that should be taken when the rule is triggered. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a rule task, it is important to ensure that the criteria is accurate and complete. This will help ensure that the rule is triggered only when necessary and that any data issues are identified quickly and accurately. Additionally, it is important to test the rule task before deploying it in production to ensure that it works as expected.
