You must choose a name for your business rule, this name does not have to be unique because the business rule will be assigned a Uid. We suggest using explanatory and distinct names however, as this wil make it easier for everyone working in the PIM.

You can give the rule a description and choose whether the rule is active or not.&#x20;

Now you need to choose a [trigger](https://docs.struct.com/pim3/reference/product-model-setup/business-rules/business-rule-details/triggers/trigger-details). To do so, click "Click to select a trigger". This will open a select trigger wizard. &#x20;

Within the wizard you must first choose a [trigger](https://docs.struct.com/pim3/reference/product-model-setup/business-rules/business-rule-details/triggers/trigger-details) that determines when your rule will run. For this example 'Variant value changed' is chosen.\
\
The wizard will ask you to select any setting for the [trigger](https://docs.struct.com/pim3/reference/product-model-setup/business-rules/business-rule-details/triggers/trigger-details) if applicable. In this example the wizard asks what attributes to look for. When you have chosen the necessary settings click "Confirm".&#x20;

This will take you back to the business rule setup page. Under the trigger that was chosen, a box with the text "Execute these actions" will have appeared. Click "Add Action" inside the box to open up 'Select action'.&#x20;

Choose the [action](https://docs.struct.com/pim3/reference/product-model-setup/business-rules/business-rule-details/actions/action-details) you wish for your business rule to execute. The available [actions](https://docs.struct.com/pim3/reference/product-model-setup/business-rules/business-rule-details/actions/action-details) depend on the chosen [trigger](https://docs.struct.com/pim3/reference/product-model-setup/business-rules/business-rule-details/triggers/trigger-details). For this example "Create a Task" is chosen.\
\
When you have chosen an [action](https://docs.struct.com/pim3/reference/product-model-setup/business-rules/business-rule-details/actions/action-details), you will be asked to configure that[ action](https://docs.struct.com/pim3/reference/product-model-setup/business-rules/business-rule-details/actions/action-details). In this example we need to set up a task.\
\
When you have configured your [action](https://docs.struct.com/pim3/reference/product-model-setup/business-rules/business-rule-details/actions/action-details) click "Confirm". This will take you back to the business rule setup page. Note that you can add more than one [action](https://docs.struct.com/pim3/reference/product-model-setup/business-rules/business-rule-details/actions/action-details) to your business rule.&#x20;
