The Diagrams Rules window provides functionality to define Rules Sets and create new Rules below them. There are two main nodes in the tree on the left hand side representing two kinds of available rules; the Consistency Rules and Formatting Rules. It is not possible to remove or change the order of these nodes.

Rules Sets and then Rules of a given kind can be created below each of the main nodes. Rules and whole Rule Sets can then be copied, removed or renamed using the right mouse button menu:

Rules and Rule Sets can also be re-ordered using the Drag&Drop functionality.

Note:

Copying and re-ordering is only possible in scope of one kind of rules, a consistency rule cannot become a formatting rule.

It is also possible to turn on/off rules or whole rule sets using check boxes in the left part of the window. If the main node is turned off all the rule sets and rules are not active. Turning a rule or rule set off means that it will be skipped when rules are executed either manually or automatically on events.
