This video will provide a good overview of rulesets in ServiceDesk. The video covers the basic components of a rule, as well as, how to configure rules to work together as part of more complex logic.

If you prefer a written Article to a video see the transcription below:

There are 2 Ruleset Types.
Process Events
OnIncidentReceived
Data Events
Comment added to ticket
Each Ruleset has 4 major components.
Trigger
Process/Data Events that cause a rule to be ran
Evaluation
A rule does an Evaluation of specific data on that ticket
Action
It occurs if that Evaluation is met
Sending an email, setting a value on a ticket
Continuation Logic
Whether or not to rule the next rule

Each rule overwrites data from the previous. Run the general rules first then the more specific so you can use the arrows to move it up the list.
