Rule Set Repository

The Rule Set Repository is a place where you can store/retrieve Rule Sets on the server.

You can choose to save off individual Rule Sets or all your Rule Sets to the repository. To save an individual Rule Set, select the Rule Set from your My Rule Sets page or your My Teams Rule Sets page, then select Save to Repository. You will be prompted to provide a file name. The Rule Set will be saved to an xml file and then zipped and stored on the server. To save all your Rule Sets, select Save All to Repository from your My Rule Sets page, and then provide a file name. Each Rule Set will be saved to an xml file, and all the xml files will be zipped into one zip file and stored on the server.

Note: When an extended Rule Set is saved, two Rule Sets are written to the Repository File: the extended Rule Set, with only new and overridden rules, and a flattened Rule Set, which has all the rules up the parenting chain. When the Repository File is imported, if the parent of the extended Rule Set exists, then the extended Rule Set is imported (the one with only new and overridden rules), referencing the found parent. If the parent Rule Set does not exist, then the flattened Rule Set is imported, containing all the rules and with no parent reference.

Once a Rule Set has been saved to the Rule Set Repository, there are various actions that can be taken:

• Import: The Rule Set(s) can be imported to create or re-create the Rule Set(s) based on the Repository File by clicking the Import link for the row. Note that when duplicate Rule Set names are encountered, your Rule Set will be overwritten.
• Download: The Repository File can be downloaded to your file system by clicking on the Download link on that row. This file can then be sent to other users, enabling them to upload and then import your Rule Set(s).
• Upload: The Repository File from another user can be uploaded to your repository by clicking the Upload File to Repository link at the top of the Rule Set Repository page. This enables you to import Rule Set(s) created by others.
• Delete: The Repository File can be deleted from the Rule Set Repository by clicking the Delete link for the row.
