Grouping security rules

If your rule sets contain a large number of rules, reading and maintaining them can prove difficult. In this case, you can create groups containing all similarly themed rules. For example, group together all the rules concerning Microsoft Office applications.

  1. In the rules panel, click on the Edit button in the top banner.
  2. Select one or more rules, then click Add > Group from selection or use the shortcut CTRL + G.
    The rules are combined into a single group.
  3. In the rule group header, enter a name or description to identify the group, for example Office applications.
  4. To the right of the group header, click on the color palette to select the group color.
  5. To add or remove rules from the group, or to order rules within the group, use the drag-and-drop icon.
  1. In the rules panel, click on the Edit button in the top banner.
  2. In the rule group header, disable the switch. The group is grayed out. When a group is disabled, all the rules it contains are inactive.
  1. In the rules panel, click on the Edit button in the top banner.
  2. In the rules group header on the right, click on the Delete icon.
    The Delete group window appears.
  3. Select the degree of deletion:

    • Delete group only: the rules are removed from the group but not deleted.

    • Delete group and rules: the rules are deleted along with the group.
