Defining Rules 

Use

You can define one or more rules for archiving jobs or to restart messages in which you set out conditions that a message must meet in order to be processed by the job. At least one of the defined rules must be met for archiving to take place.

If no rules are defined, the job processes all messages that come into consideration for each processing.
