Archiving or removing rules

Archiving or removing rules! Let's get started. MyGeotab records an event each time a rule is triggered. Turning off a rule removes its event history. Archiving disables the rule while preserving that history. Navigate to the Rules page in MyGeotab by either selecting Groups & Rules, then Rules, or searching for Rules in the menu. Toggle a rule Off to disable it and remove its recorded event history. In the confirmation popup, select Turn off only if you want to disable the rule and remove its event history. An Off rule won't record new events. Toggle it On to re-enable the rule. To disable a rule without removing its existing event history, archive it instead of turning it off. Open the Select none dropdown. Choose individual rules or all active rules. Select the checkboxes beside the built-in or custom rules you want to archive. If you select multiple rules, review each one before continuing. Select Archive when finished reviewing. Archived rules display the cloud off icon beside their names, distinguishing them from active rules. MyGeotab won't record new events for archived rules; they are essentially paused until restored. To restore archived rules, open the Select none dropdown and choose how you want to select the rules: individual, all manually archived, or all active. Select the checkboxes beside the built-in or custom rules you want to restore. If you select multiple rules, review each one before continuing. Select Restore when finished reviewing. MyGeotab re-enables the rule, keeps its existing event history, and records new events when its conditions are met. You can also open a custom rule to manually archive it. Select the Archive rule checkbox. Select Save to disable the custom rule while keeping its event history. Open the Filters pane to view custom rules archived with the Archive rule checkbox. Mark the checkbox for Manually archived. Then select Apply at the bottom of the Filters pane. To restore a custom rule, select it from the list and choose Restore, or edit it and clear the Archive rule checkbox. Either method re-enables the rule and keeps its existing event history. Congratulations! You've completed this tutorial for how to archive or remove rules.
