Handling Rules and Rule Sets with Modified Code

When working on rules and rule sets in the new standard view of the user interface for Secure Web Gateway, you need to consider a few important things regarding the code that underlies them.

The product version with the new standard view follows an older version, which included an old view of the user interface. This old view is also referred to as the Simple View now. You could switch to the code view already from this old view and modify the code for the rules in a rule set.

If you have actually done so for a particular rule set, there are the following restrictions for working with it in the new standard view:

• Old view code changes not visible in the new view — The code changes that you incorporated in a rule set when working with the old product version have been migrated to the product version with the new standard view and work there if they apply. But they are not shown in the new view. Similarly, they were not shown in the old view either.
  
  For this reason, you need to switch to the code view from the new view and review the code of any preset rule set that you want to modify even further.

• Adding rules and rule sets of your own not possible at once — You cannot add rules of your own (custom rules) to a preset rule set in the new standard view if you have modified its code in the old view, nor append rule sets of your own (custom rule sets) to it.

     There is a workaround, which still allows you to add rules and rule sets of your own here, see the
     following section.
