Cúram Express Rules, or CER for short, is a language for defining questions that can be asked, and the rules for determining the answers to those questions. Each question specifies:
The answer to a question can be as simple as yes or no, e.g. the question "Is this person eligible to receive benefits?"; however, CER lets you define answer types to be as complex as you need, e.g. the question "Which groups of people in the household have an urgent need?" would be answered by providing a list of household groups, with each household group containing a list of people.
The environment for developing CER rules is the CER Rules Editor. This editor provides a user-friendly environment and interface for both technical and business users to create, edit and validate a rule set and its rule classes. For more information on the CER Rules Editor, please see the CER Reference Manual and the Working With CER Guide.
