Microsoft Office Word must be installed to edit product or company Knowledge. If a rule is from a sealed Management Pack, only rule properties related to company knowledge can be edited.

  3. In the Rules pane, right-click the rules you want to edit, and then click Properties.

  4. In the Rule Properties dialog box, click the General tab, and then you can change the Rule name, Description, and whether the Rule is enabled.

  5. Click the Configuration tab, and then you can edit Data source and Response information as follows:
