Points Rules Tab
- Create a new points rule to add to this set, either working from scratch or by copying an existing rule and modifying it (see Add a Points Rule)
- Review the properties of individual rules (these are visible in the list, but you can also select a rule in the list and click Open)
- Delete a points rule that has been added within your enterprise (see Delete a Points Rule).Tip: You cannot delete any points rules that were supplied by the Application Recognition Library.
The columns that appear in the list vary, depending on the license type to which this points rule set applies. (For a listing of which license types support which control, see What Are Points Rule Sets?). Possible controls are listed here alphabetically. For details about editing these values, see Add a Points Rule.

| Applies to |
Displays a comma-separated set of values that may be matched against an inventory device's Hosted in setting. If an inventory device's current setting is included in this set, this points rule may be used to calculate license consumption for the device. Special values include On-premises, matching inventory devices hosted locally within your enterprise; and Any cloud service provider, matching whatever (current or future) cloud service provider's name may be set for the inventory device. Editable in the Points rules tab of the points rule set properties (while creating or editing a points rule). |
