Rule Management Buttons

Rule Management in CA OM Web Viewer lets you save export rules for later use and save time. Rather than reset all the attributes listed above, load an export rule to automatically recall previous settings.

A collection of the options previously described is called a Rule.

• Rules are limited to a single report. A rule for one report cannot be used for a different report.
• Rules can either be a rule you saved for this report or public type rule someone else saved for this report.
• Rules are saved, previously, specific to the selected report.

You can use the following processes and manipulate a Rule, in the Export Dialog:

Load Rule

Load a previously saved Rule.

Follow these steps:

1. Click Load Rule.

   A dialog opens, where you can load available rules with your settings.

2. Click the option button next to the rule name, to select a rule.
3. Click Select.

   The rule and the rule settings are loaded and displayed in the export dialog.

Save Rule

Saves the rule with your current settings.

Follow these steps:

2. Select Save or Save As.

   Save uses the current name and description of the rule. The Save As option lets you save a new rule, and lets you set up a new rule name and new rule description.
