Hi,

Adding to all, Before a record is saved to the database.Business rules execute after form submission and before the record update in the database. Example: Calculation of priority based on impact and urgency

Before Query Before query Business Rules execute before a query is sent to the database. When a user is not authorized to see all records in a list, the “Number of row removed by security constraints” message appears. Before query Business Rules act like ACL and prevents users from seeing certain records. When access is controlled through a before query Business Rule ,the “Number of row removed by security constraints” message is not displayed and the user does not know access is restricted.
