The Contact Rules OSID includes rules services to manage rules applied to Contacts.

ContactEnabler Rule

A ContactEnabler may modify the effective dates of an Contact to make them effective at a fture time or expire them. A ContactEnabler that resurrects an expired Contact may create a new Contact with new effective dates to preserve the audit trail of effective Contacts.
