# Using Flow Data in Rules

## Overview

| ## Example Lab Details |
| --- |
| **Version** | 7.10.0 Revision 68532 |
| **Root Folder** | Example Lab - Using Flow Data in Rules |
| **Modules** | None |
| **Dependencies** | None |

This Example Lab Project demonstrates how to add **Flow Da****ta** in a Rule. As of version 7.10, **Statement Rules** and **Evaluation Rules** in **Rulesets** now have constants for their **I****D, Folder, and Name** inside Flow Data. This allows the Rule to identify and use this information as part of the Rule. For example, designing a Rule to use its folder path as part of its condition.

---

## Explanation

This project uses a **Statement Rule** with two string inputs, FolderID, and Name. The Rule will check if these values match the **RuleFolderID** and **CurrentRuleName** inside **Flow Data**. If both values match, the Rule will return as true. If the values do not match, the Rule will evaluate as false. The Rule can be tested using the debugger.
