• Key Concepts: 
  Rule Service is a component of the SAP Workflow Service Runtime (WFS) and Editor (LOD-BPM-WFS). It is a set of tools that allow users to define and manage business rules in a workflow. Rules are used to control the flow of a workflow, such as when certain tasks should be triggered or when certain conditions should be met. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Rule Service can be used to define and manage business rules in a workflow. To do this, users must first create a rule set, which is a collection of rules that can be applied to a workflow. Once the rule set is created, users can then add rules to it. Each rule consists of a condition and an action. The condition defines when the rule should be triggered, while the action defines what should happen when the rule is triggered. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating rules, it is important to consider how they will interact with each other. For example, if two rules have the same condition but different actions, then only one of them will be triggered. Additionally, it is important to consider how the rules will interact with other components of the workflow, such as tasks or forms.
