[rules-users] activation-group

[JLL]

from documentation
3.5.3.5. activation-group

default value N/A

type : String

Rules that belong to the same named activation-group will only fire
exclusively. In other words, the first rule in an activation-group to fire
will cancel the other rules activations (stop them from firing). The
Activtion group attribute is any string, as long as the string is identical
for all the rules you need to be in the one group.

NOTE: this used to be called Xor group, but technically its not quite an
Xor, but you may hear people mention Xor group, just swap that term in your
mind with activation-group.
