Roadmap 🚲 🗺️
Public roadmap
This section will inform you about our future intention of making DecisionRules.io even a better application for your use adding new features regularly.
Some of the features don't have to meet the dates we set. It can be added sooner or later. We aim to always focus on the most important things and customer needs.
- We will allow for centralized management of spaces, accounts and permissions by an organization admin. The admin will be able to invite new members to the organization and perform actions like listing or removing the member accounts. Likewise, the admin will be able to manage the organization spaces, and control the permissions of the members for the individual spaces.
- We will introduce a new type of rule which will allow the user to set up a collection of constant values to be used in other rules within the space. These values will be easily editable and accessible. You will be able to use dictionary for storing configurations or as a simple lookup table.
- We will add the functionality of comparing two decision trees. The user will be able to see the tree differences, merge the content from the secondary tree or edit the primary tree arbitrarily. This feature will greatly simplify handling conflicts between distinct versions of decision trees.
- Lately, our customers have been asking us about a way to lock an important / production rule to protect it from change or deletion. We will implement this feature for you. There will be special permissions needed for managing the lock, so you can easily prevent some users from editing the locked rules.
- We will add the functionality of comparing two decision tables. The user will be able to see the table differences, merge the content from the secondary table or edit the primary table arbitrarily. This feature will greatly simplify handling conflicts between distinct versions of decision tables.
- We will add the functionality of comparing two decision trees. The user will be able to see the tree differences, merge the content from the secondary tree or edit the primary tree arbitrarily. This feature will greatly simplify handling conflicts between distinct versions of decision trees.
- We will allow users to view and search dependencies of all types of rules. Thanks to this, you will be able to quickly and easily see all the rules that enter a given process. The dependency search will also help when performing group operations over rules, e.g. to check whether a given operation does not break your process. The functionality will be available both in the app and via Management API.
- Have you ever wondered why you cannot export multiple rules at once? Well, we will bring this capability soon. You will be able to export the whole folder with all its rules to a single file and import it back. This way, you will be able to simply create backup files or share rules between spaces or even environments with one click.
- 24/7 Service Line - DeliveredWe launched 24/7 service line support and we are now able to respond to critical issues in the matter of hours, day and night. This is mainly important for our larger customers who need robust and fast support all around the world.
- Regional Clouds - DeliveredIn addition to our global cloud, we launched three individual regional clouds for Europe, the USA, and Australia. Each regional cloud has its own environment and database so it can be guaranteed that all data are stored only in the respective region. Thanks to this, you may now use DecisionRules as a service while still keeping aligned with your data residency policy.
- Scripting Rule Diffs - DeliveredWe added the functionality of comparing two scripting rules. It is now possible to view the differences between two scripting rules and edit the primary scripting rule, reflecting the differences in the way you like. This feature will greatly simplify handling conflicts between distinct versions of scripting rules. Similar rule comparison features are planned for decision tables and decision trees.
- Languages - DeliveredWe added support for languages and provided translations into Czech and Spanish.
- Rule Alias Support - DeliveredWe will add support for using rule alias instead of rule ID within Management API. Thanks to this, you will be able to use rule aliases for most operations concerning rules. Together with this, we will make a general revision of security and effectiveness within the business logic treating rules and spaces.
- Folders in spaces - DeliveredWe will bring better organization of rules using folders for larger spaces. We would like to enable user and automated transfer of folders between spaces or individual physically separated environments.
- Include or Exclude DecisionTable columns in Solver API - DeliveredOur customers requested the possibility of specifying which conditions columns will be activated when calling a decision table via the Rule Solver API. It is now possible to include or exclude columns, making the solve of decision table even more flexible. https://docs.decisionrules.io/doc/api/rule-solver-api#options
- Dynamic JSON in Decision Tables and Decision Trees - DeliveredThis feature will make it possible to create parametrizable JSON objects and fundamentally expand the possibilities of decision tables and decision trees when using integration functions or changing output data in JSON format.
- Hiding the content of individual decision tree nodes - PostponedWe would like to make decision tree nodes collapsible to improve the overall experience when editing decision trees.
- Simplifying the migration of rules between environments - DeliveredMigration of rules is a big topic for us lately. So far, one can only manage single rules via Management API. We therefore want to provide a free customizable migration tool for anyone to use.
- Folders in spaces - Completed, Released in January 2023 We will bring better organization of rules using folders for larger spaces. We would like to enable user and automated transfer of folders between spaces or individual physically separated environments.
- Simplifying the migration of rules between spaces / environments - Delivered We would like to enable easier transfer of multiple linked rules between spaces and environments. You will be able to prepare and test the entire rules release, which you can then easily transfer to another space or environment.
- Platform upgrade to new LTS version - Delivered Now is a good time to switch to the new major LTS versions of the AWS platform that power our public cloud.
- Default match for Decision Table - Delivered We will simplify the possibility of returning the default output in the event that no row in the decision table is fulfilled.

- RuleFlow upgrade (planning and analysis) - Delivered With the growing number of users, we have received a large number of requests to improve RuleFlow. We would like to clarify the requirements and then implement some of them. You definitely have something to look forward to.
- Sector specific use-cases - Delivered We come across many interesting use-cases in which you use DecisionRules. We would like to outline and describe the main trends in individual sectors in such a way that it is clear how to use DecisionRules and where it has the greatest added value. We believe that this will save you some time in implementation projects.
