Rule Tags are backups of actions and rules configured in the Platform. Rule tagging functionality enables you to take a "snapshot" of Axeda® Connected Product Management Applications rules and actions at a specific time and then restore those rules and actions at a later time as needed.
A rule tag contains the current Platform rules and actions tables. For example, a rule tag created now will contain all the actions and rules currently defined in the Platform, including the following:
o All rules configured in the Platform, as shown in the Configuration application, Rules page.
o For each rule, the associations to user groups, assets, asset groups, and models
o Assignments and configured parameters for each rule
o Edit and execute permissions for each rule
o Actions associated with each rule, as shown in the Configuration application, Actions page.
o Edit and execute permissions for each rule's action
o Type(s) of action(s) configured for the rule
o Models associated with the rule's actions
Rule Tagging functionality provides support for creating new rule tags, deleting existing rule tags, and rolling back the rule and action database tables to a timeframe of a rule tag.
Rule tags are created and saved using the Platform's timestamp. If you want to roll back the rules and actions to those captured by a rule tag, you would select that rule tag based on its timestamp or user-defined description. When you roll back a rule tag, the Platform creates a new tag automatically (to capture the current rules and actions) and then restores the rules and actions defined by the rule tag.
