# IQL in Rules

There are two rule actions that utilize IQL, _Run IQL_ and _Set the value of fields using IQL_. The latter is the predecessor to _Run IQL_ and as such is not as powerful or user-friendly which is why we recommend using _Run IQL_ when possible.

> **Tip:**
> 
> Using **Run IQL** provides the feature of code version control: Click on the ![ShowChangeInformationByLine](_images/form_designer/ShowChangeInformationByLine.png) icon to show change information by line, or click on the ![ShowHistory](_images/form_designer/ShowHistory.png) icon to show history of such changes.. This contributes to easier rule management.
