Overview of creating Rules

For every Rule you create, you will use a Selection Criteria panel and an Action Specification panel and for each event type, there are different versions of the Selection Criteria and Action Specification panels.

Optionally, you may use a second (additional) selection criteria panel called the Variable Dependencies panel or a second (additional) action specification panel called the Alert Action(s) panel. Certain event types use customized Alert Action(s) panels.

In other words, depending on what events you create a Rule for, different selection criteria items and different actions are displayed on the Selection Criteria panels, Action Specification panels, and ALERT Action(s) panels for that event type. Only the Variable Dependencies panel displays the same information for every event type.
