# Manage Rules

## About Managing Rules

IZ Analyzer manages all the rules centrally in the server, which in turn will be accessed by:

1. **`On The Fly Results`** in Anypoint Studio Plugin
2. Project analysis using **`Scanner Plugin`** or **`Maven Plugin`**

Users with appropriate access can activate or deactivate the rules.

Some of the key benefits are:

* Centralized management of rules for the whole organization
* Automatic rule synchronization in Anypoint Studio from server
* Rules can also be synced manually in Anypoint Studio using **`Sync Rules From Server`** option in **`On The Fly Results Pane`** tab pane

### Activating Rules

At any point in time, deactivated rules can be activated from [SonarQube™](https://www.sonarqube.org) server. All the new activated rules will be synced by Anypoint Studio plugin at regular intervals. 

### Deactivating Rules

At any point in time, an activated rule can be deactivated from [SonarQube™](https://www.sonarqube.org) server. Deactivated rules will not be applied while scanning the project.

### Custom Rules

Custom rules can be created using simple groovy scripts to add additional rules complying with organizational standards.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://knowledgebase.autorabit.com/product-guides/integral-zone/iz-analyzer/manage-rules.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
