Choosing an automation strategy

Automation strategy determines which Rules (and how many Rules) get fired to handle events.

For example, an event might match the selection criteria for more than one Rule. If you decide that you want all the Rules to fire, you must specify the strategy ALL.

If you decide that you do not want all the Rules fired, you must choose a different strategy. The different strategy names are as follows:

  • ALL
  • FIRST
  • INDIVIDUAL

If you choose an automation strategy of ALL or FIRST, all Rule Sets are searched for Rules to match a certain event. You can specify ALL or FIRST for each of the Rule Sets on this panel.

Choose a strategy of INDIVIDUAL if you want to set an Automation Strategy for each Rule Set.

If you do not select a strategy, the default is FIRST.
