Creating Monitoring Rules
Monitoring Rules define which fields are monitored and managed by Approved Notes. Several Monitored Phrases can be associated with each Monitoring Rule. Each rule also has a Start Date, End Date, and Category. Optionally, Monitoring Rules may also contain a Country and Product. Approved Notes only monitors records modified since the Start Date of the Monitoring Rule.
The combination of the violating Monitored Phrase and the category of the Monitoring Rule displays next to any created Monitored Text, enabling compliance users to quickly identify why the Monitored Text violated the rule.
