Precedents Identified

If Active Evidence Row 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 Evidence Row Rule Objects
Name When Identified Trigger for Recalculation
Active Evidence

Identifies any case for which1:

  • a search was executed to retrieve Active Evidence Row Rule Objects; and/or
  • one or more attribute values were accessed for one or more Active Evidence Row Rule Objects for the case's evidence

The precedent ID refers to the caseID which owns the evidence that was accessed.

If in-edit evidence changes for a case are activated, 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 Evidence Row Rule Object Converter if any Active Evidence Row Rule Object is accessed during the calculation.

If changes to the data configuration for the Active Evidence Row Rule Object Converter are published, then a precedent change item for the converter's data configuration will be written to a precedent change set.

1 In practice these two conditions amount to the same thing - that Active Evidence Row 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.
