Rule Properties

Use the rule properties to define or modify a watch rule. You can access the rule properties from the My Watch Items, Rules tab by clicking the set properties icon for a watch rule entry. The properties are located on the Rule tab of the Set Properties page.

The rule properties specify conditions in saved HTML report output so that when the report is saved and the conditions are satisfied, you are alerted.

For information about creating watch rules, see Create a Watch Rule for a Specific Condition.

The following table describes the rule properties that are available.
