To define the affected variables
To adapt the example for testing the rule set
To see the effect of the defined rules for a variable name, you can modify the
example string.
To reorder rules within the rule set
To reorder rule sets within the Rule Sequence
Only the first rule set which modifies a variable name is applied. All subsequent
ones will be ignored. Therefore you may need to adapt the order of the rule
sets in the Rule Sequence.

After saving, all affected variable names are updated in the active
configuration. To apply the rule set to a specific group of vari-
ables, see "To define the affected variables" below.
A * indicates if a rule set has unsaved changes.
1. Click on the Apply rules to button to select the group of variables
that you want to apply the rule to. You can define the group of
variables based on the variable's name, the ECU or device inform-
ation, its association to a function or a group.
By default the selection is set to All. In this case, the text field is
disabled.
By using another of the available options, the string entered in the
text field defines to which variable names the defined rule set
shall be applied.
1. Copy the variable name to be used as test example from e.g. the
Variable Explorer, Configuration Manager, or an instrument.
2. Paste it into the field Example to test rule with.
The example string is the input for the first rule. The result of a
rule is shown at the bottom of each rule block.
This intermediate result is used as input for the next rule. The
final result, i.e. after applying all rules, is shown under the
example string field. If the result string would be empty after
applying the rules, the original variable name is used without
modifications.
1. Click on a rule set in the Rule Sequence list.
All rules contained in the rule set are shown in the editing area.
2. Click on a rule block in the list.
3. Drag and drop the selected rule block to the new position.
The new position is indicated by a black line.
