About Global Rules

Rules that are defined at the application level are called global rules. Global rules eliminate the need to define the same rule in multiple profiles and formats.

Depending on the filter condition configured, the global rule can be applied to all formats and profiles in the application or a specified subset. The Run When property of a global rule shows the events with which the rule is associated. For example, if Run When displays Submission, it indicates that the global rule runs when the reconciliation is submitted. For Set Attribute Value rules, Service Administrators can to control when the rule is run by setting Run When. For all other rule types, this property is read-only.

By default, global rules are disabled. Once a global rule is enabled, it takes effect immediately. The rule then impacts profiles and reconciliations when the condition specified in Run When occurs. This behavior is also applicable when a global rule definition is edited and saved.
