Configuring Business Rules
Business Rules automate actions that the application performs when certain conditions are met. You can create rules based on a combination of various conditions and actions.
You can create Business Rules that can add and modify data for records that belong to a few modules in Track-It!. You can automate actions, such as sending email notifications when a record is created, updated, or deleted based on field updates.
The following figure shows the process to configure a Business Rule:

Components of a Business Rule
Together, following components form a Business Rule:
Component | Description |
---|---|
Conditions | Determines the criteria after which a Business Rule is triggered. |
Actions | Defines the configured actions that the application performs after the Business Rule is triggered. |
Actions Schedule | Defines when the selected action must be performed. |
Key features and considerations
Note the following key features and considerations:
- Track-It! provides a list of pre-configured Business Rules. By default, these Business Rules, as well as any ones that you create, are inactive. You can activate a Business Rule by clearing the Inactive check box.
By default, a new Business Rule is inactive. You must clear the Inactive check box to activate a Business Rule. - While configuring an action, if you enter an incorrect or invalid expression, the notification content after the expression is truncated when an email notification is sent to users. Ensure that you use valid expressions in actions.
- If you configure multiple conditions, for a Business Rule with a combination of Created, Updated, and Deleted check boxes, the Business Rule is not executed when a record is deleted. However, if you configure multiple conditions for a Business Rule with only the Deleted checkbox selected, the Business Rule is executed as expected.
- Although the comparison conditions are available for a text type field, BMC recommends that you do not use these conditions to configure a condition for a text type field.
- You can enter a custom value for the Select/Enter a Value list. The Select/Enter a Value list also supports expressions and already created records for the field selected in the Select a Field list.
- You can schedule a Business Rule to run immediately or at a later time. If a Business Rule is scheduled to run at a later time, you can specify the date and time expression to run the rule. You can also schedule a Business Rule to run repeatedly and you can define the number of repetitions that the rule must be run.
- Use the curly brackets ({) in a text field type fields, such as Email body, to access the list of available expressions for conditions and actions.
- When a Business Rule with the create/update action is executed, a system note is added to the record.
For example, if a Business Rule is executed on a ticket to update the Priority field, a system note named BR_businessruleName is added to the ticket notes. - You can copy paste the rich text field (RTF) content to the email notification editor.
- If you restart the IIS server, the job monitor and the email services for Business Rules stop. You must restart these services manually.
If you configure a Business Rule to update a ticket by updating or creating a new ticket, ensure that you configure the appropriate conditions so the Business Rule does not run into an infinite loop.
Attachments with file name exceeding 150 characters will not be attached through Business Rules configured for Incoming emails.
- (2021 Release 02) If you configure a Business Rule to create a ticket via email, and select New Email - Cc Address as the Requestor Email Address in the Select a Field dialog box in the Define Actions section, make sure that your mail has only one email address in CC so that it is correctly displayed in the Requestor Email Address field and the corresponding requestor's details are displayed on the ticket.
- If there is more than one email address in CC, all the email addresses are displayed in the Alternate Email Address field, the Requestor Email Address field is blank, and the requestor's details are not displayed on the ticket.
If the email address in CC is not linked to any requestor, it is displayed in the Alternate Email Address field, the Requestor Email Address field is blank, and the requestor's details are not displayed on the ticket. - (2021 Release 02) If you configure a Business Rule to update a ticket or assignment via email, and select New Email - Cc Address as the Requestor Email Address in the Select a Field dialog box in the Define Actions section, make sure that your mail has only one email address in CC so that it is correctly displayed in the Requestor Email Address field and the corresponding requestor's details are displayed on the ticket or assignment. If there is more than one email address in CC or if the email address in CC is not linked to any requestor, the Requestor Email Address field is blank.
- (2022 Release 01) You can format the Business Rule and SLA Send Notification message text by using the different rich text formatting options provided in the Notification details dialog box. You can also insert or directly paste inline screenshots in the notification message field. However, inserting high resolution or heavy images might lead to errors or delays in saving the Business Rule or SLA.
- (2023 Release 01) When you configure a Business Rule to create, update, or delete an assignment, you can send email notifications to the technician, group, and requestor of the ticket linked to the assignment.

Supported expressions for configuring conditions and actions
You can use expressions to configure conditions and actions for Business Rules. The following table provides information about the supported expressions for configuring actions:
Expression | Description |
---|---|
{Blank} | Validates the condition or executes an action with NULL values. For example, you can configure a Business Rule to create a ticket without an assigned technician and notify the system administrators with the details. |
{APPSERVER} | Provides the application server name. This expression is useful if technicians want to send an out a notification with the name of the application server. |
{EVENTMETHOD} | Includes the event that triggered the notification if multiple events are selected in a condition. |
{EVENTMODULE} | Identifies the module which triggers the Business Rule. For example, you have two Business Rules for sending notifications: one for Ticket module and one for email conversation. When used in the email notification this expression identifies which Business Rule triggered the notification. |
{TIVERSION} | Identifies the current Track-It! version. |
{LOGGEDINTECH} | Check any of the existing Business Rule for the usage of this expression:
|
{LOGGEDINGROUP} | Identifies the group to which {LOGGEDINTECH} belongs. If the ticket is created or updated by a technician who is not assigned to the current group, the system sends out the notification to this specific group. |
{TIME} | Displays the current time of the Application server. Use this expression to send out a notification or while updating the additional information or summary of ticket or assignment. |
{TIMEZONE} | Displays the current time zone of Application server. Use this expression to send out a notification or while updating the additional information or summary of ticket or assignment. |
{VIRTUALDIR} | Displays the name of the Application server virtual directory. Use this expression to send out a notification or while updating the additional information or summary of ticket or assignment. |
{DATE} | Displays the current date of the application server. Use this expression to send out a notification or while updating the additional information or summary of ticket or assignment. |
{DATEDIFF,<Date1>,<Date2>} | Displays the difference in seconds between two database dates. If a ticket is created with an expected due date and the time is not blank, this expression sends the notification to technician with message – “Ticket with ID {Ticket – Ticket ID} has been created and is due in next {DATEDIFF,{Ticket - Open Date & Time},{Ticket - Expected Due Date & Time}}. |
{EXTRACT, <Delimiters>,<Text>} | Displays the text contained by “Delimiters” in the “Text”. For example, you can use {Extract,(),{TR,Subject}} to extract 123 from Update Call (123) in an incoming email message subject. |
{SUBSTR,<Start>,<Length>,<Text>} | Truncates the string starting with a character <Start> for <n> number of characters <Length>, which is from a source string <Text>. To place the first 500 characters of an email message into a Ticket Summary, map the expression {SUBSTR,1,500,{New Email - Message}} against Ticket Summary field on the Select a field dialog box while creating a Business Rule. This expression places the first 500 characters in Ticket Summary field and truncates the rest of the message. |
{ACTIONRESULT,<Action Number>} | Allows access to the sequences of records that have been created or updated by actions in a Business Rule. The information about the sequence of operations is obtained from the {ACTIONRESULT, (# of Action)} value. To create a ticket and also create a linked assignment to that ticket, you must know the Ticket ID of the ticket that you created to link to it with the assignment that you are creating. |
{HELPDESKLINK} | Allows you to retrieve the Response URL from the email monitor settings. This expression does not require any parameters and it is not displayed in the expression list while you are configuring actions and conditions for Business Rule. |
{SSLINK} | Allows you to retrieve the Self Service Response URL from the from the email monitor settings.
