Precedents Identified

If Active/In-Edit Succession Set Rule Objects are accessed during a CER calculation, and the CER utility is used to identify precedents, then the following precedents will be identified:

Table 1. Precedents Identified for Active/In-Edit Succession Set Rule Objects
Name	When Identified	Trigger for Recalculation
Active/In-Edit Evidence	Identifies any case for which a search was executed to retrieve Active/In-Edit Succession Set Rule Objects; and/or one or more attribute values were accessed for one or more Active/In-Edit Succession Set Rule Objects for the case's evidence The precedent ID refers to the caseID which owns the evidence that was accessed.	If active evidence is edited or canceled, or changes made to in-edit evidence for a case, then a precedent change item for the case will be written to a precedent change set.
Rule Object Data Configurations	Identifies the use of the configuration for the Active/In-Edit Succession Set Rule Object Converter if any Active/In-Edit Succession Set Rule Object is accessed during the calculation.	If changes to the data configuration for the Active/In-Edit Succession Set Rule Object Converter are published, then a precedent change item for the converter's data configuration will be written to a precedent change set.

Note: In practice, the two conditions described in the table above for the Active/In-Evidence Succession Set Rule Objects amount to the same thing, i.e., that Active/In-Edit Succession Set Rule Objects for the case's evidence were accessed in some way. Generally, a search will be executed to retrieve rule objects in order that one or more attribute values can be accessed on those rule objects anyway. Note also that the activation of in-edit evidence changes for a case does not cause a precedent change item to be written as the newly-activated evidence is still the latest active/in-edit evidence for the case.
