Dynamically Adding Definitions to Definition Groups (Browser Client)
This topic provides an overview of dynamically adding definitions to definition groups and discusses how to:
Use the Definition Inclusion Rules page.
Use the Inclusion Processing page.
Use the Process Scheduler Request page.
Create inclusion rules.
Modify inclusion rules.
Run inclusion rules.
Delete inclusion rules.
In three-tier definition security you can create inclusion rules to dynamically add definitions to definition groups.
This table describes the pages use to create, managed and run inclusion rules:
