Grass Valley GV STRATUS Installation v.3.1 - Manual (Page 287)

5. To enable a rule, do the following:
a) Select a rule with a Status that does not report Enabled and click Enable .
The Confirm Activation dialog box opens and reports the number of current assets to which
the rule applies.
b) Select options as follows:
• All existing Assets : The rule immediately evaluates existing assets and takes action
accordingly.
NOTE: Take care when using this option. Assets for which the rule action successfully
completed previously can have the rule action applied again, resulting in a large amount
of unnecessary rule activity.
• Newly changed Assets only : The rules is enabled but it does not take action on existing
assets. Rather, it waits until an asset changes and then evaluates the asset to take action.
• Cancel : The rule is not enabled.
Consider the Rules Engine setting Startup Mode and the Confirm Activation option when you enable
a rule, as the behavior is similar. With the Rules Engine setting you specify the behavior of all
currently enabled rules when the Rules Engine starts up. With the Confirm Activation option, you
specify the behavior of an individual rule when you manually enable the rule.
