Scenario
Your manager requests that you configure the filing status field in the Payroll setup case type as a radio selection with Single and Married options. Save the modified rule in the 01-01-02 Ruleset and deploy the change.
After user acceptance testing of 01-01-02, the company plans to implement a series of enhancements to the user interface for the Payroll setup case type. Based on feedback, your manager requests that you configure the filing status field as a drop-down menu to support additional filing status options. Lock & Roll the application Rulesets for the HRApps application to 01-01-03, save the change in the new Ruleset version, and deploy the change.
The change in 01-01-03 is then deployed to production and your manager asks you to prepare for the next development cycle, which 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 To simplify the rule resolution process and eliminate any unused or outdated rules, perform a minor skim of all application rulesets for the HRApps application to 01-02-01.
