Creating and Editing Detection Rules in Change360

• Creating new Detection Rules
• Editing automatically created Detection Rules

Introduction

When Discovering applications Change360 uses package, file and registry information to pre-create Detection Rules that will be used when exporting application to Intune.  Detection Rules are automatically created when there are no existing detection rules, e.g. applications not imported form SCCM.

The following Detection Rules are automatically created based on what information is found during Discovery:

• Windows Installer Rule - created when the package record includes a Windows Installer Product Code and includes checking that the ProductVersion is Greater than or Equal to the detected version.
  
  

• File rule - created for all package types when at least 1 executable is found during Discovery and includes checking that the file version is Greater than or Equal to the detected version.
  
  
  
  
• Registry Rule - created for non Windows Installer package types when Uninstall registry keys are found during Discovery and includes checking that the version is Greater than or Equal to the detected version.
