Letting a web user override the default values in a rule set

In a rule set, there are often situations where you want to allow a web user to override the default output value as programmed. To capture this in a rule set, use the following approach.

To allow a default value to be changed by a web user, proceed as follows:

1. Create a rule set which sets the default value for the output.
2. Convert the rule set into a template, with a parameter for the default value.

3. Add a sentence to the template web presentation indicating that the default value should be overridden by creating another rule after the default rule.

4. Create a few templates which capture the criteria when the default should be overridden.

5. Add a sentence to the web presentation for each of these, indicating that it should be used after the default rule. There are currently no first class mechanisms to control rule order or creation, but these comments should help the web user avoid mistakes.
