Today marks a big release with some new features and important fixes. The platform team is proud to introduce Guidelines and a revamped Rules Editor

Guidelines

Guidelines allow an organization to create an element-by-element specification for their trading partners to follow when crafting a transaction. Orderful provides these guidelines for all off-network organizations so you can make sure you trade right the first time. This saves time and costly penalties.

The creation process for guidelines should be familiar to anyone who has read an EDI spec.

Rules Editor/Transaction View

There were two things about Orderful's rules editor that we knew we could improve – first, the widget interface was less than intuitive, and second, it was awkward having to write rules without being able to see the validations at the same time. With today's new rule editor all rules are created in a single text entry bar familiar to anyone who's used Microsoft Excel. The bar has been fixed overtop of the transaction view with enough room for validations to be seen to the right of the transaction. It's now easier and faster than ever to create rules.

Also, this new entry makes it possible to easily add complex logic like nesting and branching of rules.

But wait there's more....

There's also a new organization switcher in case you're responsible for managing multiple organizations

Plus some minor tweaks you can read more about below.

Also tackled a bug hounding a few integrations where external trading partner transactions were previously getting held up for not meeting the semantic validation. This restriction has been loosened so those transactions no longer need to pass validation, they can simply be corrected with a rule on the Orderful user side.
