Working with Normalization Rule Groups

When you first installed TLC Manager, the TLC installer created a collection of Tripwire-defined Normalization-Rule Groups in the Configuration Manager. Each of these groups represents a type of product selected in the TLC Configuration Wizard, and each group contains a collection of Normalization Rules. With this procedure, you can create and delete Normalization-Rule Groups, as well as change the name and description of an existing group.

Tip 

To move a Normalization Rule from one group to another, open the rule's properties dialog and select the new group from the Group drop-down in the Settings tab (see Working with Normalization Rules).
