Prioritizing rules

 

---

 

Once you have configured a rule, its description will appear in the Rules list in the Routing Rules dialog.

 

To change a rule's criteria

 

•Select the rule and click Edit , or double-click the rule to display the Edit Routing Rule dialog.

 

If you have more than one rule defined you will also be able to move between rules from within the Edit Routing Rule dialog using the Next rule and Previous rule buttons. You may delete the selected rule from the Rules list by clicking the Delete button.

 

The order of the rules in the list is very important, because when Zetafax is deciding which rule to use it starts from the top, and picks the first rule that matches the submitted fax. If, for example, you configure a rule to send all urgent faxes via the local server, and another rule to send all faxes to North America via the New York server, the 'Urgent faxes' rule must come first. If the 'North America' rule comes first, an urgent fax destined for North America would be matched against the North America rule first, and routed via the New York server. If the 'Urgent faxes' rule was first, the fax would be sent directly from the local server.

 

To move a rule up or down in the list, select the rule, then click on the up or down arrow next to the list. This will swap the positions of the selected rule and the one above or below it.
