A new feature in NATS4 is rules. Rules let you dictate things like what events happen when and who sees what. Overall the rules system follows the same general format with a few specific differences depending on what context the rules are being used in. In some cases you must set up rules to perform certain actions. This includes sending out mass email , showing join options , and showing cascades.
Make sure you have at least one rule when you want to perform these actions.

General Rule Format

Simple Form

The simple form for rules allows you basic control over an area of functionality. This includes limitations such as affiliate, program, and tour. In addition there are time based setting that allow you to set the duration that a rule is in effect for.

You can select from the three types of rules: IGNORE, SHOW, and DISABLE:


Under the affiliate section, you can add an affiliate by entering their user name or ALL for all the affiliates. If you want to add more than one affiliate but not all the affiliate, you must click on the Advanced Form link above the Add Cascade Table. Also you can choose the rule for either all the sites or just one site and for either all the program or just one program.
