The Add Configuration Rule dialog box displays ( Figure 455 ).

The name cannot be over 128 characters. The only special characters allowed are an

The description cannot be over 1024 ASCII characters.
7. Select one or more conditions and blocks in the Library list and click the right arrow button to
add the conditions and blocks to the rule.
The Library list contains a list of predefined and user-defined conditions or blocks. You cannot
modify or delete predefined conditions or blocks. For more information, about predefined
conditions and blocks, refer to
“Predefined conditions” on page 1167 and “Predefined blocks”
on page 1173.
To add a condition, refer to “Adding a configuration condition” on page 1163.
To add a block, refer to “Adding a configuration block” on page 1170.
To delete a condition or block, refer to “Deleting conditions and blocks” on page 1173.
8. To add conditions to a block, select a block in the Selected Conditions/Block list, then select
the conditions (one or more) you want to add to the block in the Library list and click the right
arrow button.
9. To change the logical operator separator, select AND or OR from the AND/OR column.
Valid values include AND and OR. The first item in a rule and the first connector in a block
display empty fields. Each condition or block you add displays with an AND connector (except
the first item) in the list of conditions or blocks. If you add one or more conditions to a block,
each condition displays with an OR connector (except the first condition) in the block.
Fields containing a green triangle ( ) in the lower right corner are editable.
10. To group a set of conditions and blocks, enter an open parenthesis in the ( column of the
condition or block where you want to start a grouping and enter a close parenthesis in the )
column after the last condition or block you want to include in the group.
You can create up to three groups. You can nest groups. To ungroup a group, clear the ( and )
columns that delineate the group.
11. To move a condition or block up in the rule, select one condition or block (except the first item)
and click Move Up.
You can only move one item (condition or entire block) up at a time. If you move a condition to
the first position in the rule or in a block, the logical operator (AND/OR column) is cleared. You
can move a condition into a block by moving it between the start and end of a block. If the
condition is already part of the block, it skips the block and moves above the block.
