Setting up Prioritization Analysis Rule Sets

If you wish to tailor analyses for different sites or asset families, you can define a rule set with a descriptive name, for example, Site A. Select the rule set when creating analysis criteria. Then, when you are setting up consequence priorities, select the rule set on rule clauses to filter the list of criteria available.

Tip: Create rule sets that apply to multiple sites on the top site. Create rule sets that apply to a specific site on that site.

In the prioritization analysis, select the appropriate rule set. When APM calculates the scores on the analysis, it uses only the criteria and rules that reference that rule set. If the analysis does not have a rule set, only rules that do not have rule sets are used.

You can also assign a rule set to an analysis type. When the type is applied to an individual analysis, the rule set is selected by default.

This topic explains how to create rule set records.

To Set up a Rule Set

1.	From the Site window, select the Strategy Development view, Settings tab. Select the Prioritization tab and the Asset prioritization settings node in the tree.

When the rule set is ready for use, select it in the table and click Mark as Active.
