How to enable Rule Design Mode in Cayosoft Administrator Console

Summary: Rules should typically be created from rule templates or runbook templates using the New+ button. In certain cases, Cayosoft support may recommend modifying a rule's behavior using Rule Design Mode, which provides access to underlying virtual commands. However, design mode is generally not required for standard rule creation.

If Cayosoft Support instructs you to update a rule configuration in Design Mode, follow the steps below to enable it.

NOTE: Cayosoft recommends that the design mode be disabled during normal operations. Uncontrolled configuration changes in design mode might break rule functionality and lead to an unsupported product state.
