More Information
Summary:Provided is inheritance of rules across hierarchical levels. Rules, such as condition-action rules, are configured at different levels of a hierarchy. Rules created at a higher hierarchical level are automatically inherited by lower hierarchical levels in the same branch of the hierarchy. The source of the inherited rule is indicated with its display such that the hierarchical level of creation can readily be determined. The inherited rule(s) may be toggled on/off at the lower hierarchical levels but edits to inherited rule(s) are restricted. Instead, a copy of any inherited rule may be made to create a local copy of the rule that is editable. Rules may be ordered and when a lower hierarchical level inherits the rules, the ordering is preserved. While the ordering of any rules remains constant when inherited at the lower levels, the lower level may toggle on/off the execution of each rule within the ordering.
