Active/In-Edit Succession Set Rule Objects

The Active/In-Edit Succession Set Rule Object Converter is responsible for automating the conversion of a succession set of evidence to a rule object, regardless of whether the succession set contains active evidence records or the evidence records that are in edit.

Important: The Active/In-Edit Succession Set Rule Object Converter should not be confused with the Active Succession Set Rule Object Converter, nor the Active/In-Edit Succession Set Rule Object Propagator confused with the Active Succession Set Rule Object Propagator.

However, the active in/edit succession set rule objects share important characteristics with active succession set, including the population of timeline/non-timeline data and relationships to other rule objects. See the Inside Cúram Eligibility and Entitlement Using Cúram Express Rules guide for details on processing for active succession set rule objects.

Evidence functionality allows developers to store records of evidence that can change over time. When circumstances change in the real world, a user can record those changes in the system by "succeeding" an earlier version of evidence. These versions of evidence make up a "succession set" which describe the history of some real-world evidence. Advisor rules treat each piece of changeable evidence as one rule object which has timeline-based attributes.

The Active/In-Edit Succession Set Rule Object Converter automates the conversion of a succession set of evidence rows into a single rule object with a mixture of timeline and non-timeline attributes. Changes to evidence go through a lifecycle. Transitions between the states of the evidence lifecycle are considered by the Active/In-Edit Succession Set Rule Object Propagator.

The Active/In-Edit Succession Set Rule Object Converter also populates relationships between rule objects for parent and child succession sets, if required.
