Integrating custom policy rules with policy validation process
First Claim
1. A method for integrating custom policy rules with a policy validation process, the method comprising:
- at a processor;
providing to be displayed a user interface;
receiving a policy rule defined through the user interface, wherein the policy rule is configured to enable the processor to validate a form used by an organization;
storing the policy rule in a policy database;
detecting a submission of the form to the processor;
evaluating the form against the policy rule stored in the policy database;
identifying a policy violation in the form;
generating a policy violation results list based on the identified policy violation;
determining that the form is accepted with the policy violation as a general exception to violated policy rules;
updating the policy database;
evaluating the form and other forms, wherein the form and the other forms share a sub-entity of the organization; and
determining that the form and the other forms with the policy violation are accepted automatically based on the updating.

Abstract
A system is provided for integrating custom policy rules with a policy validation process for validating forms within an organization. The system may enable the organization to create new policy rules and to customize existing policy rules for forms according to various specifications. The custom policy rules may be stored in policy database and the policy validation process may be applied to validate submitted forms against the custom policy rules for identifying policy rule violations. The system may automatically apply the policy validation process upon the submission of a form to the organization for identifying violations before posting the form to the organization'"'"'s system. The system may generate a policy violation results list, and may provide a display message for indicating when policy violations have been identified in the submitted form, and may also present options to the user for addressing the policy violation and approving the form.

18. A computer-readable memory device with instructions stored thereon for integrating custom policy rules with a policy validation process, the instructions comprising:
-
providing to be displayed a user interface; receiving a policy rule defined through the user interface, wherein the policy rule is configured to enable validation of a form used by an organization; enabling customization of the policy rule for one or more sub-entities of the organization; storing the policy rule in a policy database provided by a policy administrator within the organization; detecting a submission of the form to the processor; evaluating the form against the policy rule stored in the policy database; identifying a policy violation in the form; generating a policy violation results list based on the identified policy violation and storing the policy violation results list in the policy database; providing to be displayed a violation message indicating the identified policy violation in the form; enabling customization of reporting and processing of the policy violation and information viewable on the policy violation results list; determining that the form is accepted with the policy violation as a general exception to violated policy rules; updating the policy database; evaluating the form and other forms, wherein the form and the other forms share a sub-entity of the organization; and determining that the form and the other forms with the policy violation are accepted automatically based on the updating. - View Dependent Claims (19)
