Terminology

Rule documentation in this guide refers to the following rule classifications in Control-O:

• Scheduled rule

  Rule that was loaded into memory, automatically or manually.

• Active rule

  Rule for which all runtime scheduling criteria have been satisfied.

  In the Control-O Rule Status screen, an active rule has an ACTIVE status.

• Inactive rule

  Rule for which runtime scheduling criteria have not yet been satisfied.

  In the Control-O Rule Status screen, an inactive rule has a WAIT ACTIVATION status.

• Triggered rule

  A rule is triggered when its ON statement criteria have been satisfied (for example, the relevant command or message is issued). Event rules are triggered when they become active and can be triggered again cyclically.
