How Rules are Applied

VMS Sync's Rules engine allows administrators to apply client-specific business logic to positions during the sync process. Rules are structured as If/Then statements and run after company, skill, and flex mappings have been applied. Rules can be assigned either account wide or at the credential level, and each rule is assigned a priority number that determines the order in which rules are applied.

Administrators with elevated permissions can create, edit, and delete rules directly in VMS Sync Admin Tools without contacting VMS Sync Support.

Learn more about how VMS Sync Rules are applied below.

Priority Numbers

Each rule is given a priority number, and higher priority rules are run before lower priority rules. Priority numbers are set on the Rule itself, and can be viewed on the Rules dashboard.

For priority number best practices, see Rules Best Practices.

If/Then Statements

Rules are phrased as If/Then statements. If a position matches all of the If statement criteria, VMS Sync will apply all of the attached Then statements.

• If Statements refer to the VMS Req.
  

• Then Statements apply to the ATS Job assuming the If Statement criteria is met.
  

After all applicable rules have been applied, the position is converted to the appropriate ATS data format and uploaded to the ATS.
