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.\
When you are happy with the name and description click 'Next'.

Now you need to choose a trigger. 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](/reference/settings/data-governance/business-rules/business-rule-details/triggers/trigger-details.md) 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](/reference/settings/data-governance/business-rules/business-rule-details/triggers/trigger-details.md) 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'. <br>

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

When you have finished setting up your business rule click "Create business rule". This will save the business rule and assign it a Uid.

To test that your business rule runs; hover your cursor over the trigger and a small "Start"-button should appear in the top right corner of the box.&#x20;

## Edit Business rule

To edit your business rule hover over the [trigger](/reference/settings/data-governance/business-rules/business-rule-details/triggers/trigger-details.md) or [action](/reference/settings/data-governance/business-rules/business-rule-details/actions/action-details.md) you want to edit. A ![](/files/gfa3k8jjHCl3vZn7TXii) symbol will appear in the top right corner. Editing an [action](/reference/settings/data-governance/business-rules/business-rule-details/actions/action-details.md) or [trigger](/reference/settings/data-governance/business-rules/business-rule-details/triggers/trigger-details.md) will allow you change the configuration but not the type.&#x20;

To delete an [action](/reference/settings/data-governance/business-rules/business-rule-details/actions/action-details.md) or [trigger](/reference/settings/data-governance/business-rules/business-rule-details/triggers/trigger-details.md) simply click the "Trash can"-icon when hovering over them. If you delete the [trigger](/reference/settings/data-governance/business-rules/business-rule-details/triggers.md) you will delete the entire rule setup for your business rule.

[Actions](/reference/settings/data-governance/business-rules/business-rule-details/actions/action-details.md) can be dragged around to change the order in which they execute.&#x20;
