Policy

Policies are designed to:

• Provide an easy way to apply a Rules Engine configuration to the Staging or Production environment.

  Only a single policy per environment may be active at any given time.

• Allow the creation, storage, and management of multiple versions of a Rules Engine configuration.

  Leverage this capability to:

  • Prepare rules in advance of an event (e.g., live event, holiday, or maintenance).
  • Roll back to a previously deployed policy.
  • Troubleshoot why a new configuration behaves in an unexpected manner.

Use the search bar to filter the policies listed on the Policies tab by name. Only policies whose name contain the specified word or phrase will be displayed. Clear the search bar to view all policies.

A policy may not be modified in any way. However, it may be used as a template for a new draft.
