How to remove types from the aggregation rule

You might want to remove types from a rule to correct it or refine it. To remove a type, click the Del Rule button to the right of the type field that you want to remove. To delete And or Or statements, click the Del AND or the Del OR button to the right of the closing brace for that statement.

Understanding the tables that show unmatched processes

The create and edit application template screens show unmatched processes found across the computing network in a table called “Processes not matched by this template”. The same data
