14.7 Software Installation Package Rule Repository
Administrators can predefine rules for software installation packages, specifying criteria such as installation package hash or installation package information. Both the rule repository and software installation packages must be manually added by the administrator.
Navigate to Category Management → Software Installation Package to open the rule repository window. By default, the repository is empty, and administrators need to manually create rule categories and rules.
Installation Package Rules
| Operation |
Description |
| Create Category |
In the repository view, select Operation → Create Category to add a new rule category. Subcategories can also be created under an existing category. |
| Add Rule |
Supported rule identification methods fall into two categories:
- 1. By hash value
- 2. By installation package information – including product name/subject, file description/title, company name, digital signature, etc.
When creating a new identification rule, only one method can be selected.
- Once a category has been created, right-click the category and select Add Rule. You can choose either Direct Creation or Extract from Installation Package.
- Extract from Installation Package:
- Select a local installation package (currently supports .exe and .msi formats). A new rule dialog will appear, automatically populated with the package's extracted details. By default, Product Name/Subject is selected for identification. Additional fields may be checked or adjusted as needed. The selected package will also be uploaded to the installation package repository once the rule is created.
- Direct Creation:
- Opens a blank rule creation dialog where all fields are empty. Administrators can fill in the required details manually.
- Click OK to complete the creation of the new rule.

Select Operations → Search or click the search button in the toolbar to locate specific installation package rules. Supports fuzzy search. |
| Copy To |
In the list view, select one or more installation package rules. From the right-click menu, choose Copy To to duplicate the selected rules into another group. A single rule can exist in multiple groups simultaneously. Drag-and-drop provides the same effect as Copy To. |
| Move To |
In the list view, select one or more installation package rules. From the right-click menu, choose Move To to cut and transfer the selected rules into another group. The original group will no longer contain them. |
| Export Rule Library |
Select Operations → Export Rule Library to export all installation package rules (partial export is not supported). The exported file format is CSV. |
| Import Rule Library |
Select Operations → Import Rule Library, then choose a previously exported local rule library file. Duplicate entries will not be imported. |
Installation Package Information Library
When a rule is added using the "Retrieve from Installation Package" option, the selected package information will appear in the Installation Package Information Library. Administrators may also manually add installation package information.
| Operation |
Description |
| Add Installation Package Information |
- In the right-hand Installation Package Rules view, select the Installation Package Information Library node and right-click Add Installation Package Information. You can add a single installation package or import all packages from a folder.
- Within the Information Library, right-click an installation package and select Create Rule to generate an installation package rule based on that package. This works the same way as the Retrieve from Installation Package method.
