Configuring new assignment rules

To configure new assignment rules:

1. Do one of the following:

   • On the Pools page, select Configure assignment rules and then select Add.

   • On the Resources page, select a resource. Then, on the resource details page, select Add assignment rule

2. In the Name field, enter a name for the new resource assignment rule.

3. In Conditions, select the conditions that must be fulfilled for the rule to become applicable. The following conditions are available:

Type	Key/Value	Description
Name/ID starts with	string value	Matches resources where the name or ID begins with the specified value.
Name/ID ends with	string value	Matches resources where the name or ID ends with the specified value.

2. In Assign to, the matching resource is included in the selected target pool and assigned to an owner. You can change the values as relevant.

3. Select Create.

When a new rule is added, it is always prioritized across the organization. This means that any discovered resources will first be checked against the conditions of this new rule. If a resource does not meet the new rule's conditions, then it will be checked against the remaining rules in descending order until a matching rule is found.
