Scaling Rules in Business Central with Docker and the Cloud
In the previous chapter, we got our first glimpse of the Scenario Simulation tool as a device for testing complex decision models. The instructions we introduced in Appendix B might also have sparked your interest in exploring advanced techniques in VS Code.

This chapter shows you how to set up the Business Central editor and explores some of the additional rule editing techniques that it provides. In particular, we look at it as an enterprise-level collaboration tool for sharing and editing decision models.
