Within the toolbox there are a goup of tools that help to control the data used in the workflow.
What is the Run Allocation Rule tool used for?
Allocation rules are used to determine which person, user or team should be assigned to a particular role in a given circumstances. They can be used specifically for allocating work e.g. looking at the work type and determining which team a piece of work needs to be assigned to. They can however be used outside of allocation to assign any kind of participant.
More details about allocation rules can be found here - Understanding Allocation Rules.
