Understanding the Rule Table

The dashboard displays all your compliance rules in a paginated table. Each row represents a rule, and the table includes the following columns:

ColumnWhat It Shows
NameThe rule name, with its unique ID displayed below the name.
DescriptionA summary of what the rule checks for.
Risk TypeThe category of risk the rule addresses, for example Legal & Compliance or Brand.
Risk CategoriesThe platform-configurable filter values that determine when this rule applies, such as channel, market, products, state, document type, or approval process. These categories are configured specifically for your organisation and may differ from those on other platforms.
Created dateThe date the rule was created.
ActionsContains the Request Change button for submitting a change request on that rule.

Rules are displayed in pages. The pagination control at the bottom of the table shows how many rules are currently displayed and lets you move between pages.

Searching for Rules

The search bar sits above the rule table. Type a keyword to find rules. The table filters in real time as you type, matching against rule names and descriptions.

For example, typing advertisement instantly narrows the table to rules whose name or description contains that word. Clearing the search field restores the full list.

Filtering Rules

For more targeted browsing, use the Filters button to the right of the search bar. Filters let you narrow the table by Risk Type or by any of your Risk Category values, such as channel, market, products, state, document type, or approval process.

1Open the filter panelClick the Filters icon.
2Choose your valuesSelect a Risk Type value, a Risk Category value, or both.
3Review the resultsThe table updates automatically to show only matching rules.
4Clear filtersDeselect a value in the filter panel, or clear all filters to return to the full list.

How Risk Category filtering works

Each rule is configured with specific Risk Category values. For example, a rule might be set to apply to a particular channel, or it might be configured to apply to Any channel. When you filter by a Risk Category value, the table shows rules that either match that specific value or are configured to apply to Any value in that category. This is intentional: a rule set to "Any" applies regardless of that filter, so it will always appear as relevant when you filter by that category.

When you filter by multiple values within the same Risk Category, the table only shows rules that belong to all of the values you selected, or that apply to Any value in that category.

Example: If you have a Risk Category called "Industry" and you filter by "Financial Services" and "Healthcare", the table shows rules that belong to both "Financial Services" and "Healthcare", plus rules marked to apply to Any industry. It does not show rules that belong to only one of the two.

You can combine search and filters to narrow results further. For example, you could search for "advertisement" while also filtering by a specific content type.

Viewing Rule Details

To see the full details of any rule, click its row in the table. This opens the rule detail panel on the right side of the screen, which gives a complete breakdown of the rule:

SectionWhat It Shows
Rule name and IDThe rule's display name and its unique identifier.
DescriptionWhat the rule checks for, in plain language.
Rule TypeThe structural type of the rule, which describes how the rule logic is built.
Risk TypeThe risk category this rule addresses, for example Legal & Compliance or Brand.
FiltersThe Risk Category values that control when this rule is applied, such as channel, market, products, state, document type, and approval process. A value of "Any" means the rule applies regardless of what is selected for that category.
FeedbackThe message shown to a reviewer inside IntelligenceBank when this rule fires on their content. This is the guidance they see explaining what was flagged and why.
Trigger Term ListThe specific terms or phrases that cause this rule to flag content when detected.
Proximity Term ListTerms that must appear near a trigger term for the rule to fire. These define an inclusionary relationship: the rule activates when a trigger term and a proximity term appear close together.
Exception Term ListTerms that prevent the rule from firing when present near a trigger term. These define an exclusionary relationship: if an exception term appears alongside the trigger, the rule will not flag the content.
Absent Term ListTerms that, if found anywhere in the document, cause the rule not to apply at all. For example, if a document already contains a required disclaimer, a rule checking for that disclaimer would be excluded.
DisclaimersAny required disclaimer text associated with this rule. These are the specific statements that must appear in content when the rule conditions are met.

Not every section is populated for every rule. If a section is missing, that component isn't part of how that particular rule works. For example, a rule with no trigger terms won't show a Trigger Term List in its detail panel.

Use Collapse all at the top of the panel to collapse all sections, then expand only the ones you need. Click the ✕ to close the panel and return to the full table.

Requesting a Change to a Specific Rule

Rules cannot be edited directly in the dashboard. All changes are made by the IntelligenceBank rules team to keep your compliance logic accurate and intact. You can submit a change request in two ways.

From the rule table

1Find the ruleUse search or filters to find the rule you want to change.
2Click Request ChangeClick Request Change in the Actions column for that rule.
3Review the formThe change request form opens with the rule's ID, name, description, and risk type already filled in.
4Describe the changeDescribe the change you need in the form.
5SubmitSubmit the form. Your request goes directly to the IntelligenceBank rules team, who will follow up with you.

From the rule detail panel

1Open the ruleClick a rule row to open the detail panel.
2Click Request ChangeClick Request Change at the top of the panel.
3SubmitComplete and submit the form as above.
Good to know: The Rule ID field in the change request form is read-only and filled in automatically. This means the rules team can identify the correct rule without any back-and-forth, even if the rule name changes in future.

Requesting a New Rule or Changes Across Multiple Rules

If your request isn't tied to a single existing rule (for example, you want to add a new rule, remove a rule entirely, or make a change that affects several rules at once), use the Request General Changes button. It sits above the rule table, to the right of the search bar.

1Click Request General ChangesClick Request General Changes above the rule table.
2Describe your requestInclude as much detail as possible about the change you need.
3SubmitSubmit the form. Your request goes to the IntelligenceBank rules team, who will follow up with you.
Best practice: Request General Changes works best for simple, straightforward changes, such as renaming several rules, adding a trigger term to multiple rules, or adding a new, simple rule to your rule set. For more complex changes across multiple rules, or to add more complex rules, contact the IntelligenceBank rules team directly and they will work with you from there.
