Pattern component types
There are three types of pattern components: Match All, Counter, and Weighted Counter.
The three pattern types work as follows.
- Match All
- If all of the specified incoming events occur, the pattern fires a positive event.
- Counter
-
If the specified incoming events occur a specified number of times, the pattern fires a positive event.
For example, you might look for cases where a customer makes 3 deposits.
- Weighted Counter
- You assign a score to each incoming event that you specify, and the pattern fires if a specified total score is reached.
Unlike the Match All pattern, all of the specified incoming events do not have to occur; the total score is what determines whether the pattern criteria are met.
For example, suppose you configure the pattern as follows.
- You select incoming events and assign the following scores.
- Incoming event 1 has a score of 1.
- Incoming event 2 has a score of 2.
- You specify a Weighted Counter value of 10.
The event pattern would be true in any of the following cases.
- Incoming event 1 occurs 10 times.
- Incoming event 1 occurs 2 times and incoming event 2 occurs 4 times.
- Incoming event 2 occurs 5 times.
- You select incoming events and assign the following scores.
- Sequence
- You can specify a series of incoming events, and set the number of times the complete sequence of events must occur before the Sequence Pattern component fires.
