Policy Designer Data Model

The basic, underlying data structure of the Policy Designer module contains Policy and Policy Instance records.

Policy records store identifying information about policies, such as the name, description, and execution dates. Policy records also store code that defines the logic represented by a policy modelThe nodes and connections that define the policy logic..
Policy Instance records store identifying information about policy instancesIdentifies the records to which logic in the policy model will be applied. and store code that maps nodes in a policy model to values from specific Meridium records.

When you work with policies in Policy Designer, values in these records are updated automatically.

Depending on the specific nodes used in a policy model, additional records may be created or modified via Policy Designer. Specifically:

Records in the Policy Recommendation and Has Recommendations families may be created when you include a Create Recommendation node.
Records in the Policy Event and Has Events families may be created when you include a Create Event node and modified when you include a Close Event node.
Records in the Health Indicator, Health Indicator Value, and Has Timestamped Value families may be created when you include an Add Value to Health Indicator node.

The following image illustrates these families and their relationships.
