A rule set is a group of classification rules for a specific variable. You apply a variable to the rule set. If you want to create multiple rule sets for one variable, you must apply each rule set to multiple report suites.

Create a Classification Rule Set create-classification-rule-set

Name the classification rule set, apply the variable, and specify overwrite settings.

  1. (Prerequisite) Define the classification structure in Admin > Report Suites.

    (See Classifications in Admin Tools help on adding classifications.)

    Variables will display in the New Rule Set panel only after they have at least one classification defined for that variable.

    You can create classifications on a variable in Admin > Report Suites > Traffic > Traffic Classifications (or Conversion > Conversion Classifications). Then select the variable, then click Add Classification.

  2. To create the rule set, click Admin > Classification Rule Builder > Add Rule Set.

  3. Name the rule set, then click Create Rule Set.

  4. Select the rule set for edit.

  5. Click Select Report Suites and Variables.

    The report suite and variable list is populated with all classified variables available in all the report suites in your log-in company. A single variable in a report suite can belong to only one rule set.

    See Variable in the definitions for the Classification Rule Builder page for more information.

  6. Specify the report suites and variables to use, then click Save.

  7. Continue by adding classification rules to the rule set.
