The following is a typical procedure in OpenL Web Studio from a business user's perspective:
Open OpenL Web Studio in the web browser.
Rule editor appears.
In rule editor, select the required module.
If the required module is not available in rule editor, proceed as follows:
Switch to repository editor, locate the required rule project, and open it.
OpenL Web Studio creates a working copy of the selected project in user's workspace in read only mode.
Switch back to rule editor and select a module in the opened project.
Browse module tables as required.
If rules in the module must be modified, check out the project.
As a result, rules in the module become editable. Other users cannot check out the project while it is checked out by the current user.
Modify module tables as required.
If required, run unit tests to ensure data validity.
Check in the modified rule project so that the changes are visible to others.
