Why do need a circumstance template when we can already give a property and date value for circumstancing ,I tried to find some article on this but couldn’t get any.
Circumstance Template in Pega is used to implement multi-property circumstancing. It defines a combination of two or more properties that Pega uses to determine the applicability of a rule at runtime.
Based on the values of these properties, Pega evaluates the available circumstanced rule variants and selects the most appropriate rule instead of using the base rule.
For example, if a rule needs to behave differently based on Customer Type and Loan Type, both properties can be defined in a Circumstance Template. Pega then evaluates their combined values at runtime to identify the applicable rule variant.
In short, Circumstance Templates allow us to specialize a rule based on a combination of multiple business conditions or properties.
