Monitor rules

Monitor rules are used to verify incoming documents. Depending on the verification result, alerts can be generated. A rule can consist of multiple conditions.

Event Management supports these types of monitor rules:

• Condition only

  Use this type with a single document or with multiple documents. The conditions are evaluated if all documents that are involved in the rule occur.

  See Monitor rule - condition only.

  In this type of rule, you can only select one monitor condition. To use multiple conditions, using AND or OR, you must apply a combined condition.

  See Combined condition - Event Management.

• Value Change

  Use this type with a single document, for example to monitor status changes within the same document. You can monitor value changes for document attributes of type string or numeric. You can generate alerts in these situations:

  • The value of an attribute changed when comparing two document instances. You can specify a particular initial value and changed value, only the new value, or monitor any change.
  • The value of an attribute did not change in a given interval of time since the first document instance was received. You can specify a particular initial value or monitor for any change.

  See Monitor rule - value change.

• Document Overdue

  Use this type of rule with multiple documents, for example to verify if two related documents succeed each other in a given interval of time.

  See Monitor rule - document overdue.
