Automate the Work Behind the Work
Your team shouldn’t have to manually manage every action that happens after an activity is recorded.
The Muddy Boots Rules Engine allows organizations to build automated rules that respond to recorded activities, equipment updates, and specific conditions, helping reduce manual work, improve consistency, and keep important processes moving.
Put Your Data to Work
The Rules Engine can automatically take action when your defined criteria are met.
Automate actions such as:
• Automatically accept activities based on values recorded on a form
• Notify SIMOPS users when new SIMOPS activities are recorded
• Assign Work Orders created from “Needs Attention” responses to specific users or user groups
• Control Work Order creation by preventing automatic Work Order creation from “Needs Attention” values
• Schedule one-off tasks based on recorded activities
• Automatically unlink activities from scheduled tasks when specified criteria are met
• Generate custom alerts when specific activities are recorded or equipment is updated
• Generate schedule optimization alerts based on AER Directive 17 Density Exemption
Rules That Fit Your Operation
Not every site, field, or workflow operates the same way.
The Rules Engine lets you define scopes so rules can apply only where they are relevant.
Create rules specific to:
• Fields
• Sites
• Equipment
• Activities
• Other applicable data points
This gives your team the flexibility to automate a process across the organization, or target a specific field or site.
Build Rules Around Your Data
Rules don’t have to be triggered simply because an activity was recorded.
Conditions allow you to determine exactly when a rule should run.
Conditions can evaluate information from:
• Activity form values
• Equipment properties
• Defined constant values
Multiple conditions can be combined using logical AND / OR criteria, giving you greater control over when an automated action takes place.
The Rules Engine also includes functions that can transform or evaluate data before a rule is triggered, including calculations such as:
• Percent change and percent difference
• Absolute difference
• Standard deviation
• Absolute value and square root
Less Manual Work. More Consistent Processes.
The Rules Engine helps your team move from “someone needs to remember to do that” to “the system will take care of it.”
By automating routine actions and responses, Muddy Boots can help you:
• Reduce manual data entry
• Improve process consistency
• Respond faster to operational events
• Keep important information moving through your workflows
• Build automation around the way your organization actually operates
Activity Recorded → Rule Checks Criteria → Automated Action
For example: An Activity with a “Needs Attention” value recorded ⟶ Rule evaluates the response ⟶ Work Order automatically assigned
Or: Activity recorded ⟶ Conditions are met ⟶ One-off task automatically scheduled
Built to Evolve with Muddy Boots
The Rules Engine builds on the automation capabilities already available in Muddy Boots while providing more flexibility and new ways to automate your processes.
Existing Activity Rules and Work Order Rules are automatically converted to the new Rules Engine format, so organizations with existing rules can continue using them without conversion work.
