Selecting Interaction Control rules in the table of allow rules

In the allow rules table, you can select Interaction Control rules to view information or to manage these rules. When rules are selected, the details area appears in the right part of the web interface window.

Before selecting rules, you can configure the allow rules table to display Interaction Control rules in a specific order.

To select the relevant Interaction Control rules, perform one of the following actions:

• If you want to select one rule, select the check box next to the rule or use your mouse to select the rule.
• If you want to select multiple rules, select the check boxes next to the relevant rules or select the rules while holding down the CTRL or SHIFT key. When multiple rules are selected, the application checks the state of the selected rules and determines whether there are enabled and disabled rules among the selected rules.
• If you want to select all rules that satisfy the current filter and search settings, perform one of the following actions:
  • Select any rule in the table and press the key combination CTRL+A.
  • Select the check box in the title of the left-most column of the table.

When multiple rules are selected, the details area shows the total number of selected rules. If you selected all rules that satisfy the current filter and search settings, one of the following values appears in the details area:

• The precise number is displayed if you selected 1000 rules or less. In this case, the application checks the state of the selected rules just as with other methods for selecting multiple rules.
• If more than 1000 rules are selected, the number 1000+ is displayed. In this case, the application does not check the state of the selected rules.

The title of the left-most column of the table shows the rule selection check box. Depending on the number of selected rules, the check box can have one of the following states:

•  – all rules that satisfy the current filter and search settings were not selected in the table. However, one rule or multiple rules may be selected in the table by using the check boxes next to the rules or by using the CTRL or SHIFT key.
•  – all rules that satisfy the current filter and search settings were selected in the table.
•  – all rules that satisfy the current filter and search settings were selected in the table, but then the check boxes for some of the rules were cleared. This state is also retained if the check boxes were cleared for all rules selected in this way (due to the fact that the number of selected rules may change).

If all rules that satisfy the filter and search settings are selected, the number of selected rules may be automatically changed. For example, the composition of rules in the table may be changed by an application user in a different connection session or when the list of rules is optimized in learning mode. It is recommended to configure the filter and search settings in such a way that ensures that only the relevant rules end up in the selection (for example, you can filter rules by their IDs before selecting all rules).
