Change Rule Name

Put your cursor in the name, delete it, and type the new name.

  • Duplicate a Step: Click on the duplicate icon in the top right corner of the step.

Edit Actions, Conditions

Click on any component of the Rule you want to edit.

Starting and Stopping Rules

Navigate to the drop-down menu near the rule's name that says Active or Inactive, depending on its current state. Set it to Active if you want it to run or Inactive if you want it to stop running.


Manually Run a Scheduled Rule

If you have a situation where you need a Rule to execute between scheduled runs, you can force a manual run. To do this, click the Run Now button under the Schedule.


Reviewing Rule Activity

The Activity Tab

Navigating to Activity at the top of the Rule will show you the activity feed for the Rule. The activity feed displays a log of users processed by the Rule.

  • Use the Filter by Person to quickly find a User in the log list.

  • Click the eye icon next to a user's log to open the complete details about the execution. This side sheet displays the results of conditions and the status and results of each action taken.
