Scenario
A new application ruleset (01-01-02) was created to accommodate the development cycle that begins today. During the development cycle, TGB plans to implement iterative enhancements to the user interface for the Payroll setup case type. Initially, your manager requests that the filing status field be a radio selection with Single and Married options. You save the modified rule in the 01-01-02 Ruleset and deploy the changes.
After a stakeholder review, your manager requests another change to the filing status field: a drop-down menu to support additional filing status options. You increment the application Rulesets for the HRApps application to 01-01-03, save the change in the new Ruleset version, and deploy the change.
Now that the changes are deployed to production, your manager asks you to prepare for the next development cycle. This development cycle involves several planned enhancements made available with the next minor release: the 01-02 version. To simplify the rule resolution process and eliminate any unused or outdated rules, perform a minor skim of all application rulesets for the HRApps application to 01-02-01.
