Lists
Lists are used by rules for retrieving information on web objects and users.
There are several types of lists, which differ, for example, with regard to who created them or which type of elements they contain. Accordingly, you work with these lists in different ways.
Lists appear in different places on the user interface, for example, in the criteria of rules and rule sets, on the
Lists tab, and within settings.
At the initial setup of the appliance, lists are implemented together with the rule set system.
You can then review the lists of the implemented system, modify and delete them, and also create your own lists.
