Request Sequence Groups

This rule group does not contain any rules or subgroups in a newly-installed Web Sites and Services MP. This group is for storing rule groups for user-defined Request Sequence Groups created by the MP Configuration Wizard.

  Warning
You should not manually add or move items in the Request Sequence Groups rule group, or they will be deleted the next time the MP Configuration Wizard runs. Additional notification rules and other custom rules that do not involve Request Sequences should be added to the Common Processing Rules rule group instead.
