AME ATTRIBUTE
In AME an attribute is a variable that has exactly one value per item, for a given transaction.
Common attributes are WORKFLOW_PROCESS_NAME, HR_IS_SELECTED_PERSON_CONTACT_CHANGE_SS

Based on the requirements custom attributes can be created. e.g. EMR_IS_CHANGED_BY_SELF

EMR_SIT_STRUCTURE_NAME

AME CONDITIONS

A condition is a statement that is either true or false, for a given transaction. Condition is always associates with an attribute. The 'if' part of an approval rule consists of conditions. For the rule to apply to a transaction, all of its conditions must be satisfied for the transaction. We need to create conditions before we can define rules.

AME Action

An action is an instruction to AME to drive a transaction's approval process. An approval rule's 'then' part consists of one or more actions. Typically AME provides all of the action types and actions that are required for any implementation.

AME RULES

In the AME implementation main step is rules and rule usages creation. Business rules needs to be translated into AME rules. Rule associate one or more conditions with an approval in an if-then statement. Before we can create rules, we must create conditions for the rules to use. Based on the requirements we may need to create some custom attributes and/or approval groups.

Creating rules is the last thing we do in AME setup.
