Key Takeaway
Continuous Delivery Model
Templates are now decoupled from platform releases on the cloud, meaning new industry examples and logic patterns are added continuously.
Complex Real-World Scenarios
We are moving beyond simple examples. The library now features full-scale decision flows for Finance, Insurance, Aviation, and more.
Enhanced Discovery & Previews
Find exactly what you need with improved search and filtering, and inspect the full logic structure and description before importing it to your Space.
Unlocking the Full Power of Templates
The DecisionRules Template Library has always been a rich resource for robust decision logic. From complex financial calculations to dynamic retail pricing, our templates have served as the foundation for countless customer projects.
However, as the library grew in depth and scale, so did the need for a better way to navigate it.
With our latest update, we have redesigned the user experience to match the quality of the content inside. The goal is simple: make it effortless to find, understand, and deploy complex business logic. We aren't just giving you a list of files, we are giving you a clear window into how advanced rules are structured before you even click "Import."
The "Blank Page" Problem Solved
Even with a powerful engine, starting a new project from zero can be daunting. You know the business outcome you need, but determining the optimal architecture, how to split tables, where to handle validation, how to orchestrate flows, takes time.
Our library is built to bridge that gap. It serves as an architectural reference, offering immediate access to proven patterns for your specific industry.
Whether you are looking for a standard Insurance Underwriting flow or a specialized E-Commerce Discounting strategy, the redesigned interface ensures you find the right starting point in seconds, not minutes. It allows you to skip the setup phase and focus entirely on customizing the logic to your business needs.
What’s New in the Redesigned Experience
The update is more than just a fresh coat of paint. We’ve focused on three pillars of improvement: Discovery, Transparency, and Delivery.
1. Intelligent Search and Industry Filtering
As we added more sophisticated templates, a simple list was no longer enough. The new UI introduces powerful filtering that allows you to browse by Industry (Finance, Aviation, E-commerce, etc.) or Rule Type (Decision Table, Flow, Scripting Rule).
Whether you are looking for a specific technical "trick" or a full-scale industry solution, you can now locate it in a single click.

2. Detailed Previews: Look Before You Import
One of the most requested features was better visibility. Now, templates come with a detailed description page available before you import it into your Space.
This page explains:
- The Business Case: What problem this template solves.
- The Input/Output Structure: What data the rule expects and what it returns.
- Logic Overview: A breakdown of how the tables and flows are connected.
This transparency ensures you select the logic that best aligns with your data structure, saving you from trial-and-error imports.

3. Continuous Delivery & Docker Support
Traditionally, new templates were tied to major platform releases. We’ve changed the game: Templates are now delivered continuously.
Our team can now publish new industry patterns and logic fixes the moment they are ready, appearing instantly in your library without needing a platform update. Furthermore, we are excited to announce that Docker and On-Premise users will soon have access to this same continuous stream, ensuring everyone stays at the cutting edge of decision automation.
Templates vs. Starting from Scratch
Why use a template if you eventually have to customize it anyway? The value lies in the architecture.
| Starting from Scratch | Using DecisionRules Template |
|---|---|
| You define logic structure | Proven architecture is already built |
| Researching industry best practices | Best practices are baked into the rule |
| Iterative trial and error | Start with working, tested logic |
| High risk of missing edge cases | Common scenarios already covered |
| Longer time to production | Faster time to value |
Who Benefits Most?
The new library is designed to support every role in the automation lifecycle:
- Teams New to Business Rules. Learn by example. See how experienced rule designers structure logic, then apply those patterns to your own first projects.
- Business Analysts. Skip the documentation deep-dive. Import a template similar to your use case and modify it visually, no coding required.
- Developers. Quickly prototype solutions. Import industry examples and test them with real JSON data in minutes to see "what's possible" before building custom integrations.
- Scaling Teams. Don't reinvent the wheel. Use our "Useful Tricks" templates to standardize validation and error-handling patterns across your entire organization.
Summary: A Running Start for Every Project
The redesigned Template Library turns the "blank page" into a running start. By combining a sophisticated new UI with a continuously growing library of real-world logic, we are making it easier than ever for teams to scale their decision automation.
Don't spend your time reinventing standard patterns. Explore the library, find your industry blueprint, and focus your energy on the custom logic that makes your business unique.
