Use the menu items in the File menu to open rule sets in Rule Builder or Rule Debugger; create, rename, and delete rule sets and groups; enable, disable, pause, and resume rule sets; import and export rule sets; and hot swap rule sets.
New Rule Set
Opens Rule Builder so that you can create a rule set.
Open
Opens the selected rule set in Rule Builder.
If the rule set is enabled or read-only, a dialog box appears, asking you to choose whether to open a copy of the rule set or open the rule set in read-only mode. You cannot change a rule set that is enabled or read-only.
Debug
Opens the selected rule set in Rule Debugger so that you can view the rule set's execution history and determine at which point, and why, a particular execution encountered problems.
New Group
Creates a new group, or folder, in the Rule Set Library list.
The location of the new group depends on the what is currently selected:
Rename
Modifies the selected rule set or group.
If a rule set is enabled, you cannot rename it.
Delete
Delete the selected rule set or group from the Rule Set Library list.
Get Info
Use to display details about the selected elements. When you select this menu item, the Get Info dialog box appears.
Enable
Makes a rule set available for execution.

If you are working with job rule sets (indicated by the job name in the window title bar):
Tip: You can select more than one rule set.
Resume
Resumes a paused rule set so that it listens for trigger events. This option does not appear in the menu until you select a rule set that is paused.
Disable
Disables the selected rule set, making it no longer available for execution:
This setting applies only to enabled rule sets. After a rule set is disabled it no longer appears in the Enabled Rule Sets list.
Tip: To disable a job rule set for multiple jobs, use Disable In instead of using Disable.
Disable in
Disables the selected job rule set, making it no longer available for execution in one or more jobs.
Opens the Disable Rule Set dialog box where you can select the jobs for which you want to disable the rule set:
Applies only to enabled job rule sets, not to system rule sets. After a rule set is disabled, it no longer appears in the Enabled Rule Sets list.
Hot Swap
Enables the rule set that is selected in the Rule Set Library list, replacing an already-enabled rule set.

Pause
Stops an enabled rule set. If the rule set is executing when you pause it, it finishes the process underway but no longer listens for trigger events.

When you want the rule set to trigger again, select File > Resume.
Stop All Processing
