Rule editor panel icons	Description
Save	Saves the changes made in the rule editor. The rule is automatically validated before it is saved. If the rule is invalid, the validation error message is displayed and you must confirm that you are saving the invalid rule. When the rule is saved, the Notification is updated stating that the rule is saved successfully.
Refresh	Refreshes the rule to reflect the latest updates from the server.
Delete	Deletes a rule. Note: This icon is enabled for an inactive rule and disabled for an active rule.
Duplicate	Duplicates the selected rule.
Validate	Validates the rule. When clicked, the Notification is updated with the validation status. Note: You can validate a rule that is not yet saved.
Activate	Activates a valid rule that is currently Inactive. Note: You can activate multiple inactive rules at once by clicking Activate multiple rules. All inactive rules are listed, with the current rule selected. You can select one or more inactive rules to activate at the same time. You can use the multi-select check box in the rule list header to select or clear all inactive rules.
Re-activate	Reactivates a valid rule that is currently Active. Note: You can reactivate multiple active rules at once by clicking Re-activate multiple rules. All active rules are listed, with the current rule selected. You can select one or more active rules to reactivate at the same time. You can use the multi-select check box in the rule list header to select or clear all active rules. You can also reactivate multiple modified rules under one session by restarting the session instead of reactivating the rules.
Deactivate	Deactivates an active rule. Note: You can deactivate multiple active rules at once by clicking Deactivate multiple rules. All active rules are listed, with the current rule selected. You can select one or more active rules to deactivate at the same time. You can use the multi-select check box in the rule list header to select or clear all active rules.

Note: When activating, reactivating, or deactivating multiple rules simultaneously, the session is restarted only once to save time compared to activating, reactivating, or deactivating them individually. Notifications about activated, reactivated, or deactivated rules are displayed in the Notification area for the individual rules. The notification for the restarted session is displayed for the current rule.

The position of the vertical splitter between the session tree and the editor panel is retained from the previous session.
