Global Rulers

Ruler definitions are normally specific for each user and/or jobname and/or report name. However, special rulers can be used that can be shared between users and/or job names and/or reports. These are called global rulers. These can be very effective for users wanting to share similar rulers without duplicating their work. This can also be useful for application departments who want to have standard rulers defined for all their staff. They may even appoint a "ruler coordinator," responsible for the creation of rulers for the department.
