Re-ordering Rulesets and Rules

You can re-order your user-defined rulesets within the Manage Consolidation Rules screen and re-order the rules within each user-defined ruleset. Changing the order of the rulesets will change the order of execution of these rulesets so it is possible to read data into a ruleset that has been written by a previously executed ruleset. Changing the sequence of the rules within the ruleset will have no impact.

The seeded rulesets are always displayed before the user-defined rulesets, and you cannot change their sequence.

Note:

When you change the sequence of the user-defined rulesets, it might have an impact on the results if the source data for one or more of the rulesets includes the current period Elimination data, and the source data of a subsequent ruleset includes the target data of a previously executed ruleset.

Guidelines for Re-ordering Rulesets and Rules:

  • Sequence changes can be executed from all of the filtered views except the Deployed view (All Rules, Un-deployed, and Changed after deploy). If a sequence change is attempted in the Deployed view, a warning message will be displayed that you cannot move a rule in the Deployed view.

  • The sequence of the user-defined rulesets does not change until you deploy them.

  • The first custom ruleset cannot be moved up.

  • The last custom ruleset cannot be moved down.

  • The first custom rule in a ruleset cannot be moved up.

  • The last custom rule in a ruleset cannot be moved down.

  • If deployed user-defined rules are re-sequenced, the rules that have changed sequence will change to "Changed but un-deployed" status and the ruleset will change to "Changed but un-deployed" status. If a sequence change involves only one or more un-deployed or changed rules, then there will be no status changes. If a sequence change involves both deployed and un-deployed or changed rules, then the status changes will be based only on the re-sequencing of the deployed rules.
