Delete a Rule
To discontinue using a rule that you might want to use in the future, it is better to deactivate it instead of deleting it. Then to use it again, you only have to reactivate it instead of recreating it.
However, if the rule is no longer wanted, there are several ways to delete it. You can use the Edit Rule dialog box to delete a single rule or the main rule screen to delete one or more rules.
Tip: A quick way to delete a rule is to right-click on the rule name in the list of rules and then select Delete.
Delete a Single Rule on the Edit Rule Screen
-
From the Fault Viewer, select Administration. The Administration panel appears.
-
Select Rules. The Edit Rules panel appears.
-
Click on the rule name from the list of rules to select the rule to delete. A confirmation box appears asking if you are sure you want to reset the statistics for all rules shown.
-
Click OK. The true and false counts for ALL rules will be reset to zero. The Edit Rule dialog box appears for the rule you selected.
-
Click Delete to remove the rule. A message appears stating that deleting a rule may affect the behavior of subsequent rules and asking if you are sure you want to delete the rule.
-
Click OK to confirm deletion of the rule. It is removed from the list of rules.
Delete One or Multiple Rules
