 I&amp;#39;m being challenge to use the rule engine to create complex workflow. 
 My first question: is there a limit in the number of actions when a document is in a state? Like when getting out of the WIP state I would need 5 options to choose</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>RE: Rule engine action</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/751579?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 02 Feb 2023 03:02:57 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:3c8f6ced-7d6f-4353-9948-0930a11de2fb</guid><dc:creator>Alex Acton</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Luc,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Edit* - Sorry re-read your post and think I was interpreting ACTIONS as selectable options from the Context Menu. Edited below to change to Context and added info on actions to bottom *&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;--&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have run into limitation issues with the number of Context Menu items (Operation Types in the WRE Excel) allowed in the Rules Engine.&lt;br /&gt;It has been logged as a defect yrs ago asking to extend the limit, but no update in a while.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The limitation is around 80 items.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;"&gt;This is across ALL Workflows and is affected by other plugins you have installed that add to the Context Menu. If you have an addin that takes 4 context menu spaces (even if they are under a tab/sub-context) then you have 4 less.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once the limit is reached you will stop seeing options in the Context Menu (Under CHANGE STATE) in reverse order. They get culled.&lt;br /&gt;Funnily enough the first one that gets culled (that we noticed) was the &amp;#39;Create Rendition&amp;#39; button on the main context.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The main thing here is this is across ALL Workflows. So even if you&amp;#39;re not using a Workflow on your project, if it&amp;#39;s in the system it is still loaded in the background and affects your options. We have 4 workflows and can&amp;#39;t add any more Operations without finding others to cull.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It basically looks like when ProjectWise loads into the datasource it loads all the Workflows into the system and the context menu is limited on what it can display.&lt;br /&gt;Even if a massive chunk of that workflow data isn&amp;#39;t loaded in the project/folder.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;--&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In terms of limitations of Options (context items) per&amp;nbsp;State, I don&amp;#39;t believe there is any.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our biggest workflow at the moment has 8 different states and 1 of the states has 10 options.&lt;br /&gt;Nearly all of the states use an option for a &amp;#39;Revise&amp;#39; button which pushed it back to the previous state (or back to beginning, depending on state) if there are any issues.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The biggest annoyance is the interface. It displays all options on the screen at once for the document. Even if they are not allowed (not valid for the state).&lt;br /&gt;If you have 3.334+ and have Server Side WRE enabled, it makes it easier as it grays out non-selectable options. Otherwise, all buttons are selectable and give an error if you attempt to select one in the incorrect state.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;--&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ACTIONS (WRE - Rules Tab)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have a total of 184 Actions and 10 Conditions. Haven&amp;#39;t hit a limitation yet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Rule engine action</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/751371?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 18:26:12 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:8e333e70-0ee7-4929-ae5e-5c615673e8a2</guid><dc:creator>Peter Willmen</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;You can re-arrange the displayed order by modifying the Environment Interface fields&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Rule engine action</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/751369?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 18:25:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:9c540b06-3e17-4405-b159-c285a75a80ec</guid><dc:creator>Peter Willmen</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;The WRE would be complex but possible.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mapping out the process in a diagram is essential before attempting to start configuring it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Would be able to advise better if you can find a way of sharing your process&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Rule engine action</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/750804?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 26 Jan 2023 20:26:15 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:be17db58-139e-45aa-9f45-e452184ee986</guid><dc:creator>Luc Poulin</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Update&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyone is aware if for the WRE, the Archive Revision Note, can be populate bottom to top&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;as oppose to Top to Bottom &amp;darr; ?&lt;/p&gt;
