Testing Rules

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.

Rules can easily be tested in VMS Sync without having to go between systems to test data. Follow the steps below to test a Rule.

1. Open the Rules Dashboard by clicking Rules in VMS Sync Admin Tools.
2. Select a Rule, then click View Rule.
3.  Click Test Rule.
   
4. The preview on the right side panel will show the recent positions the rule was applied to. Click a result to view the JSON.

   The JSON includes highlighted values. IF = Blue, THEN = yellow.
   

5. Use the Specific Position field to test a specific req ID.
