An Initial Assessment Example

This section walks through an example of how business data on the database is converted to CER rule objects throughout the lifecycle of a product and case and how changes in that data are propagated to the Dependency Manager.

The example follows these steps:

• A system administrator creates and publishes rule set information for a Product;
• A system administrator creates and publishes a new Rate Table;
• A case worker registers a Person;
• A case worker creates a new Case for that Person;
• A case worker adds an additional member to the Case;
• A case worker captures and activates some Income evidence; and
• A case worker activates the Case.

As these steps progress, we will see how data from various parts of the system is converted into CER rule objects.

Propagation processing (to inform the Dependency Manager of changes) occurs later in the case lifecycle when changes of circumstances occur (see Reassessment - Handling Changes in Circumstance).
