flowsheet Data Rules are used to normalize or otherwise prepare data collected in a data_table Data Model for downstream processes. Data Rules apply conditional logic to data extracted from documents (folder Batch Folders).

• Each Data Rule executes a "Data Action" which do things like computing a field's value, parse a field into other fields, perform lookups, and more.
• Data Actions can be conditionally executed based on a Data Rule's "Trigger" expression.
• A hierarchy of Data Rules can be created to execute multiple Data Actions and perform complex data transformation tasks.
