General Details and Criteria
This section allows you to specify details like rule title and order for the Parser Rule as well as set certain criteria’s for the Parser Rules.
Rule Title: Specify a suitable title for your Parser Rule.
Stop Processing Rules: This setting if enabled, other rules added in the system will not be processed if the criteria specified for this Parser Rule are met.
Sort Order: This setting allows you to choose the order in which the Parser Rule should be sorted by the software. SupportSuite will always process Parser Rules in ascending order hence a Parser Rule sorted as ’1′ will be executed before a rule sorted as ’4′.
Criteria: SupportSuite allows you to set certain standards for all incoming emails using the Criteria setting of the Parser Rule. The software in reference to these standards checks if the incoming email meets the specified criteria’s. Only if it does then the Parser Rule is executed by the software.
The software allows you to add more than one criteria for a Parser Rule, you can add multiple criteria’s by clicking on the New Criteria option 
. Similarly, you can remove an added criteria by click in the red cross icon 
adjacent to it.
