Summary

You can change the availability of a rule.

As  you create an application, you may wish to control how other developers can copy or change those rules.  For example, your application may include a rule that must stay as is and not be changed (perhaps for legal reasons). You may also find a rule which is now out-of-date and should be excluded during rule resolution. 

The Availability option on a rule allows you to prevent rules from being overriden,and to turn off rules that are no longer applicable.  The Availability options are:

• Yes
• No/Draft Mode
• Final
• Blocked
• Withdrawn

See Understanding rule availability for details on each option.
