Common Actions

• Create New Objects. Create new objects by clicking on the New Object button or by browsing in the object tree to the type of object you want to create, then right click and select the New ... entry that matches the desired object type.
• Edit Objects. Edit objects by double-clicking to open them in the Editor Window. Changes to object attributes, like name, take effect immediately.
• Create New Rules. Double-clicking a firewall's Policy object will open it in the Rules Window. Click on the green + button to add a new rule to the Policy.
• Drag-and-Drop Objects. To configure your rule, drag objects from the object tree to the rule field you want to change. For example, dragging-and-dropping a network object in the Source field will change the source to use that network object.
• Switch Libraries. Firewall Builder comes with many commonly used objects predefined in the Standard Library. The User Library contains the user created objects. To switch libraries click on the drop down list at the top of the Object Window. Objects in both the Standard & User Libraries can be dragged directly to a firewall rule.
