Marking Rules
The rules in the currently open policy can be marked either for reference purposes or to select specific
rules for export. When a rule is marked, an icon
is displayed in front of the rule name both in the
Rule Editing and Viewing Panel and in the Rule Navigator window. Rules can be marked using either
of the two following methods:
●
In either the Rule Editing and Viewing Panel or the Rule Navigator window, right-click the desired
rule and from the resulting menu, choose
Mark
for only the selected rule or
Mark
All
for all of the
rules in the policy.
●
In the Rule Navigator window, click to select the desired rule and then click the Mark Selected Rule
icon .
Marked rules can be unmarked by following the same two procedures and choosing
Unmark

Unmark
All
from the right-click menu or in the Rule Navigator window, clicking the Clear All Marks
icon
.
