Configuring the Default Rules Set for Checking

An administrator can configure the default Acrolinx rules set displayed when checking with Acrolinx.

The default rules set can be set at multiple levels:

A default rules set defined at an object level overrides the default rules set inherited from an object at a higher level in the repository hierarchy.

  1. Set the default rules set on a document, DTD, or folder:
    1. Right-click the object and select File > Show Properties.
    2. Click the Custom Attributes tab.
    3. Click Add, and select Acrolinx Default Rule.
    4. Select a rules set from the list.
    5. Click OK.
  2. Set the default rules set repository wide:
    1. In the Navigation pane, expand the Custom Attribute Definitions administrative object.
    2. Right-click acrolinxRuleSet and select File > Show Properties.
    3. Clear the Unspecified Default Value check box.
    4. In the Default Value field, type an Acrolinx rules set name.
      The rules set name value must be one of the choices displayed when you set a default rule on an object, such as a folder.
    5. Click OK.
