Dynamic rules allow you to define and execute centralized and automated rules using an "if this then that" conditional approach to trigger actions when certain conditions are met. Each Workplace plug-in implements its own conditions and actions to be used in any dynamic rule. Other Workplace features use dynamic rules to automate some of their actions, like issuing badges or certificates or granting competencies.
A rule comprises a rule header and a rule body. The rule header contains information about the rule, while the rule body contains two parts: conditions and actions. The basic statement that is applied to every active user in the tenant that the dynamic rule belongs to is as follows:
IF <Conditions> = TRUE THEN execute <Actions>
Each <Conditions> clause comprises a single condition or multiple conditions, where all conditions are connected via AND operators; that is, all conditions must be met for <Conditions> to be true. <Actions> is a series of actions to be executed on all users that <Conditions> applies to. The same actions and conditions can be used multiple times in a rule. Both conditions and actions are always applied to users. Conditions are matched against all tenant users, whereas actions are applied to a subset of all users, namely those that satisfy the conditions.
