Rule filter
The rule filter facility allows you to check that the rules you have configured will behave as intended. The filter works by showing you which rules in your list will apply to faxes with certain parameters. For example, you may set up the filter to show which rules affect faxes to New York, or which rules affect Urgent faxes. You can also see which rules would cause faxes to be routed to a particular remote server.
To set up the filter:
•Click Set filter parameters…
The resulting dialog allows you to define the filter.
This allows you to specify which category you want to filter by - you must select one of Destination , Priority , Size , Time , User , or Server from the Filter category list. You can choose either to Display all rules which include any requirements in that category (for example, any rules that have a Priority specified), or to Display rules which match these requirements (for example, any rules that affect Urgent faxes).
The rule filter will allow you to select specific requirements within the appropriate category. For example, you could select a particular country, region, or area for Destination filters, or Urgent , Normal , or Background for Priority filters.
These filters will also show up any 'catchall' rules that may apply. For example, a filter on Destination New York would match rules directly affecting destination New York, and rules such as 'Send all urgent faxes locally', which applies to faxes regardless of destination.
To see which rules result in faxes being routed via a particular Zetafax Server, select Server from the Filter category list, then choose the name of the appropriate server from the Server list.
When you have set the filter as desired, click OK to return to the main Routing Rules dialog. You can view the results of the filter using the Display criteria options.
The Mark filtered rules option marks each rule that matches the message criteria specified in the filter with an asterisk. This option allows you to see where filtered rules are in relation to all the other rules in the list. The Show filtered rules only option removes all rules that don't match the filter from the list. It also numbers the remaining rules according to their position in the complete list. In this mode the rules can't be moved up or down, and new rules cannot be added.
You may want to test with a number of different filters to make sure the rules are performing as required.
