Criteria
The Criteria tab displays the following information about the criteria groups of the selected compliance rule:
Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
Status | This field displays the status of the compliance rule. When a compliance rule is newly created it will automatically be inactive . When a compliance rule is modified in any way, that is, criteria groups are added, removed or modified the compliance rule automatically becomes inactive . This means that all groups and devices, to which the compliance rule is currently assigned will not re-evaluate their scores anymore. This also means that any report of which at least one subreport is based on this compliance rule, or which is assigned to a group with this compliance rule will not be executed. After the compliance rule modification finished, you can manually reactivate the compliance rule by selecting the active value from the list. |
Default Operator | This field defines the default relation that is established between the individual criteria groups when they are added to the rule, possible values are AND and OR. |
Index | This field displays the index value for the defined criteria group. |
Name | The fields of this column display the custom defined names of the criteria groups specified for this compliance rule. |
Table | The fields of this column display the names of the database table from which the criteria were chosen for the criteria group. |
Group Relation | This field defines the relation between the individual criteria groups. To uniquely identify the respective groups the syntax uses the Index value, which is assigned to the group due to its position in the list. Whenever new criteria groups are added to the rule they are automatically added as well to this relation field with the preselected default operator at the end of the equation. Groups can be related either by the AND or the OR operator, they can be grouped with parenthesis and they can be inversed via the not operator. Also, the criteria groups can be used more than once in the syntax, for example, not ((1 AND 2) OR 3) OR (1 AND 2 AND 3). The syntax must ALWAYS be verified that it is correct before activating the compliance rule, otherwise it cannot be activated. |
