    • Add

      Select a workflow or auxiliary table, and then click to add a rule. For details, refer to Creating Rules.

    • Details

      Select a parent workflow or auxiliary table and a rule, and then click to edit the rule. Rules created in a parent workflow are inherited in any sub-workflows. You can edit a rule at the workflow level at which it was created.

    • Override

      Select a sub-workflow and a rule, and then click Override to override inherited rules. Overrides apply to the selected workflow only.

    • Delete
      You can delete rules as long as they are not being used by a notification. Select a workflow or an auxiliary table, and a rule, and then click Delete.
      Note: Rules pertaining to primary items can only be deleted in the workflow in which they were created. For example, rules created in a parent workflow and inherited by sub-workflows can only be deleted at the parent workflow level. The rule is then deleted in any sub-workflows as well.
