• Key Concepts: 
  Dotted notation is a way of representing the structure of a rule in SAP HANA Rules Framework. It is used to define the conditions and actions of a rule, and consists of a series of dots that represent the different levels of the rule. The first dot represents the rule itself, while subsequent dots represent the conditions and actions that make up the rule. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use dotted notation, you must first define the rule. This is done by creating a new rule in the SAP HANA Rules Framework. Once the rule has been created, you can then add conditions and actions to it using dotted notation. Each condition or action is represented by a dot, and each dot is followed by a description of what it represents. For example, if you wanted to create a condition that checks if a certain value is greater than 10, you would use “.condition(value > 10)”. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using dotted notation, it is important to remember that each dot represents a different level of the rule. This means that if you want to add multiple conditions or actions to a single rule, you must add them in order from left to right. Additionally, when creating conditions or actions, make sure to use descriptive names so that they are easy to understand.
