Rule definitions can be created using either of two basic methods:
A skeletal rule definition can be created by specifying the name of a new rule definition in the entry panel. (The table specified in the entry panel can be either a new or an existing table.) In this case, virtually all fields of the rule definition are empty.
A copy of an existing rule definition can be created using the INSERT option (described later) in the Rule List screen. In this case, most fields of the new rule definition have the same values as the fields in the copied rule definition.
