What is a Domain Template?

A Domain Template is a curated bundle of fact definitions and sample rules tailored to a specific industry. Applying a template creates:
  • A pre-defined set of facts (e.g., purchaseSubtotalUsd, loyaltyTier) registered for your tenant.
  • A new policy group with sample rules, ready to publish or customize.
  • An entry in your group list — same as if you had built it manually.
Use templates to skip the blank-page problem when starting a new policy domain.
Templates are opt-in. They only run when you click Apply in the Console or call the apply endpoint. Your existing facts and policy groups are never modified.

Sample Rules (5)

The 3 tier discount rules share a mutex group (vip_discount) with EXCLUSIVE / HIGHEST_PRIORITY — only the highest-priority matching rule fires. First-purchase bonus and free shipping run independently.

​
Applying a Template

  1. Go to Settings → Domain Templates.
  2. Click Preview on a template card to inspect the facts and rules before committing.
  3. Click Apply to create the policy group.
  4. Optionally provide a custom group name. If left blank, a default name is generated (with a date suffix if the name already exists).
After apply, you’re navigated to the new policy group where you can edit rules, set effective dates, and publish.

​
What Happens on Apply

The entire operation is transactional — if any step fails, nothing is created.
The created policy version starts as DRAFT. To make it live, publish it from the policy group page or via the deployment API.

​
Customizing After Apply

Templates are starting points. After applying, you can freely:
  • Edit any rule (condition, action, priority, mutex).
  • Add or remove rules in the version.
  • Delete facts you don’t need (they’re regular custom facts, not protected) — provided no rule still references them.
  • Rename the policy group.
  • Adjust the version’s effective dates before publishing.

​
FAQ

Can I apply the same template twice? Yes. Each apply creates a new policy group. Existing facts are reused (not duplicated). If the default group name is taken, a date suffix is appended automatically. Can I delete a template’s facts later? Yes, once nothing references them. Template-applied facts are regular tenant facts — no special protection, and the same guard applies: a fact that any rule references cannot be deleted (FD-006) or retyped (FD-007). The error reports how many rules reference it. Remove those rules, or edit them to stop using the fact, and the delete goes through. Can I roll back an apply? Not as a single operation. To undo, archive the policy group manually (or delete the version), then delete the facts you don’t need. That order matters: while the rules still exist they reference the facts, and the delete is refused. The application history record remains for audit.
