If explicit membership is enabled, then you can click Add and this displays a screen through which
you can select an explicit member entity and optionally configure specific overrides that would be
associated with this member.
From the
Editing Explicit Member Entity popup screen, you can select a Member Entity from
among different possible entity types including Managed Equipment, among others. You can also
specify
Filter Criteria Overrides, which are the changes to the filter criteria that should be applied
when this rule is triggered by an event associated with the Member Entity that was selected. Finally,
you can specify
Action Parameter Overrides , which are changes to the action parameters that
should be applied when this rule is triggered by an event associated with the member entity that
was selected. If you choose to add an override of either type, a screen will be shown that allows you
to specify the attributes that are being overridden along with the override value.
On the
Editing Override Value screen, if this is a filter criteria override then a drop down list will be
shown to select the
Filter Criteria Attribute. Note that this list will be populated with the filter
criteria that this rule is configured with from the
Filtering tab. If you select an attribute and then
enter a value then this value will override the default configured value on the
Filtering tab if this
rule is triggered by an event associated with the configured member. The filter will then be applied
with the override values and this rule will only be triggered if these criteria are met.
