The rules feature of ontology (preview) lets you automate and manage event-driven alerts directly within your entity types. With the integrated capabilities of Fabric Activator, you can achieve real-time monitoring and response for your business entities. This feature allows you to define alerts that monitor properties across every instance of an entity type, to ensure comprehensive, ongoing oversight.
Important
This feature is in preview.
Rules transform ontologies from static information models to operationalized ones. The ontology becomes capable of automatically initiating business processes through alerts and automated actions, all within a seamless and context-aware environment. This feature helps you unlock automation capabilities without needing to switch between tools or write custom code, to streamline workflows and enhance efficiency.
Note
Rules in ontology (preview) rely on Fabric Activator and are subject to Fabric Activator costs. For more information about Fabric Activator pricing, see Understand Activator capacity consumption, usage reporting, and billing.
Prerequisites
Before defining rules, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
- A Fabric workspace with a Microsoft Fabric-enabled capacity.
- Ontology item (preview) enabled on your tenant.
- An ontology (preview) item with data binding completed for at least one time series property.
Key concepts
Rules use the following ontology (preview) concepts. For definitions of these terms, see the Ontology (preview) glossary.
- Entity type
- Rule
- Fabric Activator
Create a rule
Open the rules configuration from the Home configuration canvas or from the entity type details.
To open rules from the configuration canvas, select ... next to an entity type name to open its options menu. Hover over Manage rules, then select Add rule.
To open rules from the entity type details view (any tab), select Manage rules > Add rule.
The Add rule panel opens and displays the rule configuration options.
Configure the rule, including Details, Monitor, Conditions, Actions, and Save location.
While configuring, keep the following notes in mind:
Ontology-authored rules support temporal conditions (for example, thresholds exceeded over a time window) and aggregations via the Fabric Activator condition configuration, evaluated per entity instance. For more information about using these fields, see Create a rule in Fabric Activator.
By default, ontology rules are saved to a new Fabric Activator item. If you want to choose an existing Fabric Activator item instead, select it manually from the Save location step. We recommend saving all rules for an ontology to the same workspace and Fabric Activator item.
When you're finished configuring, select Create.
The rule is now visible in the Rules panel. To start or stop the rule, toggle the switch next to the rule name.
View and edit a rule
You can reopen the Rules panel at any time by selecting View rules from any of the Manage rules dialogs described in Create a rule.
In the Rules pane, you can:
Change which Fabric Activator item is used to store ontology rules, by selecting Edit next to the Activator name.
Manage the rule by selecting ... next to the rule name to open its options menu. From here, you can Edit the rule, Delete the rule, or Open in Activator. Opening a rule in Fabric Activator lets you make more edits to the rule and analyze its conditions and actions. For more information, see Create a rule in Fabric Activator.
