Modifying a seasonal event rule state

You can change the state of a seasonal event rule to watched, active, or archived from the Seasonal Event Rules portlet.

Before you begin

To access the Seasonal Event Rules portlet, users must be assigned the ncw_analytics_admin role.

About this task

The seasonal event rules are stored in tabs that relate to their state. The total number of rules is displayed on the tabs. For example, when you Archive a Watched rule, the rule moves from the Watched tab to the Archived tab in the Seasonal Event Rules portlet and the rules total is updated.

Performance statistics about the rule are logged. You can use performance statistics to verify that a deployed rule is being triggered and that a monitored rule is collecting statistics for rule matches for incoming events. Performance statistics are reset when you change the state of a seasonal event rule.
