Label my Custom Rules

 

Custom rules can be given a label to help you organize and keep track of them. This label is displayed in the custom rules management screens of the account portal, and in the log and review screens for your minFraud transactions in the account portal. The label is also returned as part of a response to a minFraud service request, so that it can be logged or integrated into your systems.

You can choose how you want to label your rules, and each label can be up to 50 characters long. Read more to learn about:

• how to set a label during rule creation,
• how to edit or add a label to an existing rule, or
• where custom rule labels are displayed, including
  • rule labels in the log of your minFraud transactions
  • rule labels on the transaction review screen
  • rule labels in API responses

Set a custom rule label

When you are finishing the process of creating a custom rule, you’ll have the option to set a label for your rule. Learn how to create a custom rule. If you make a mistake and want to change your label, you can edit it later.

Edit or add a custom rule label

After a rule has been saved and activated, you can add, edit, or remove a label as needed using the account portal. Click on 'Custom Rules' in the minFraud menu in your account portal [direct link, login required]. This feature is available to admin users and standard users with product/service permissions. Learn more about user permissions.

You can edit the label by clicking on the tag icon next to the rule whose label you would like to edit or add:

Enter the label you would like in the text box and click the blue "Save Label" button when you're ready.

Now the label will show up in the list of custom rules:
