Additional Information

**Business rules do not get evaluated when the updates are happening either via Processes or via XOG. When you create a notification definition with a condition (on successful evaluation of which the outcome will come into act. In this case reportStatus = FINAL) it is indeed a business rule behind the scenes. With that said only the ODF API updates (that includes a rule-engine header) are the only way to trigger the business rule evaluation thus, on meeting the condition, users would get notifications.
