Modifying and removing rule sets

Out-of-the-box pattern rules sets, and rule sets that you have created, can be modified and removed in the Pattern Rule Library view.

Note: You must have Manage Patterns permission to be able to create pattern rules or rule sets, or to modify and remove custom rules and rule sets.

Modifying a rule set

These modifications can be made to a rule set:

  • You can add a rule to an existing rule set by following the instructions for populating a new rule set in Creating a rule set in the Pattern Rule Library view.
  • To remove a rule or multiple rules from a rule set, select the rule or rules to remove and then perform one of these actions:
    • Click Remove Rules From Set.
    • Right-click and select Remove Rules From Set.
  • You can add a rule set to another rule set in one of two ways:
    • Select a rule set and drag and drop it into another rule set.
    • Right-click a rule set and select Add Rule Set as Child and then, in the Choose Rule Set dialog box, select the rule set that you want to add as a parent rule set.
  • You can modify the Display Name and Project types of a rule set: Right-click the rule set and select Properties to open the Rule Set Properties dialog box. In this dialog box, you can edit the Display Name field, or you can click the Project types field Edit button to select one or more project types.
