In the YSoft SafeQ Web Interface, select Rules > Rules.

On this page, you can manage print job rules and access the Rules Definition wizard.

The Rules page includes the following information: 

• Name – Name of the rule

• Conditions – Conditions print jobs must meet in order for YSoft SafeQ to apply the rule

• Action – Action that will be applied if conditions are met

Icons in the Rules list:

•  - Drag and move the rule in the list. Multiple rules can apply to the same print job. 

•   - Enable the rule.

•    - Disable / deactivate the rule.

•  - Delete the rule.

Wizard dialog is divided to the two basic panels:

• Panel (1) lists available Conditions, Actions and Notifications that can be used to create new rule.

  • You can use links in header (3) or buttons in toolbar (4) to switch between available Conditions, Actions or Notifications.

• Panel (2) describes your rule.

To create new rule, first enter name of the rule, then click on Conditions, Actions or Notification to add them to Rule panel. Trigger option limits which Actions, Conditions and Notifications can be added to the rule because they need specific triggers to work. When you have finished defining your rule, click on Save button (5) to save rule.

Add condition, action or notification

Click on Conditions, Actions or Notification name in first panel to add it to your rule. Some items can be added to rule multiple times (it remains in left panel when added to rule), some of them only once (it is removed from left panel when added to rule).

If item is grayed (6) out, it means that specific item (Condition, Action or Notification) is not available for currently selected Trigger (7) or could not work with some of the selected Conditions, Actions or Notification.

In order to perform Actions, ALL defined conditions must be met.

Set Conditions, Actions or Notification attributes that accepts multiple values

Some attributes accepts multiple values. These attributes are displayed in purple color (4). You can add another value by clicking on purple text. List with all values is displayed in popup dialog and you can add another item by clicking on the Add link (2) or remove one of the items by clicking on it (8).

All values in multiple attribute are linked with OR logical conjunction. This means that one of the values must apply to Condition to be evaluated as successful.
