Manage Cloudlet rules

In the Rule List on the Version Details screen, you can view, edit, clone (or edit new version), delete, upload and download rules.

You can also change the order of the rules. Rules are evaluated from top to bottom, with the first match winning.

ActionSteps
Change rule order
  • To see the rules in ascending or descending order, click Order ↑ or Order ↓. Applying Order ↑ or Order ↓ does not change the evaluation order. Rule order is always saved in the ascending order.

  • To move a rule to the very top of the rule list so that it is evaluated first, or to the very bottom, use the pointing up triangle (▲) or pointing down triangle (▼) and click Save Changes.

  • You can manually change the rule order by updating the number in the box (□). If for example a policy has 5 rules, you can enter a number from 1 to 5 in any box. Changing the order number of one rule changes the number for at least one other rule or all rules since no two rules can have the same order number. To see your changes click Update Order. To accept the changes, click Save Changes.

    The following shows what to expect when you manually change a rule number. For these examples the policy has 5 rules.
      Example: If you change the last rule (rule 5) to be the first rule evaluated (rule 1), all of the other rules increment down by 1. Rule 1 becomes the second rule evaluated (rule 2), rule 2 becomes rule 3, rule 3 becomes rule 4, and rule 4 becomes rule 5.
      Example: If you change the first rule (rule 1) to be the last rule evaluated (rule 5), all of the other rules increment up by 1. Rule 5 becomes the fourth rule evaluated (rule 4), rule 4 becomes rule 3, rule 3 becomes rule 2 and rule 2 becomes rule 1.
      Example: For all other rule order changes besides the two examples described above, the evaluation order is swapped between two rules. If you change rule 4 to be evaluated third (rule 3), then the original rule 3 becomes rule 4. The order of the other rules does not change.
  • When you have several changes, you can edit the rules and the rule order in a CSV file.
