When you create or edit policy routes, you can save time by copying the content rules from similar routes. To do this, follow the normal procedure for creating or editing a policy route. That is, on the Modify Policy Route page, provide a name for the route (optional), specify the endpoints for the route, and define the default action for the route. However, when you provide the content rules for the route, rather than adding them individually, you copy them from another existing policy route.
You can choose to either:
- Add the content rules from the source route to the destination route, leaving any content rules that you have already defined in place.
- Overwrite the content rules in the destination route with the rules from the source route, removing any rules already present in the destination route and replacing them with the rules from the source route.
To copy content rules from an existing policy route
- Follow the procedure for creating or editing a policy route to the point where you define your content rules.
- In the task panel, click Copy rules from route. The Copy Rules From Another Route dialog appears.
- From the Select source route drop-down list, select the policy route from which to copy the content rules.
- Specify whether to overwrite the content rules in the destination route:
- To completely replace all of the content rules in the destination route, select Overwrite destination route.
- To add the content rules from the source route to those already in the destination route, leaving the existing rules in place, clear Overwrite destination route.
- Click Copy Rules. The copied content rules appear in the Content Rule Order list.
- If required, change the order of the content rules. The order determines which primary action is performed if a message triggers more than one content rule. To change the priority of a content rule:
- Select the content rule in the Content Rule Order list.
- In the task panel
click either
or 
, as required.
- If necessary, change the priority of the new policy route on the Manage Policy Routes page.
- Apply the configuration.
