Rule sets

A rule set groups rules that apply only in certain situations: at home, at work, on public Wi-Fi. Rules in a set apply only while the set is active; rules without a set always apply.

Creating a set

At the top of the Rules page, in the Rule sets bar, press Create… (or Edit… if you already have some). In the editor:

• the list of sets is ordered with Move up and Move down: the order matters for automatic switching;
• Name;
• Networks: for each network, the Connection (Wi-Fi or Wired) and the Router. Use current network fills them in. The network is recognised by the router’s address; leave it empty for any network of that type. Excubia doesn’t use the Wi-Fi network name;
• Times: the days of the week, From and To. A new time starts as Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 18:00. A range that crosses midnight belongs to the day it starts on.

To put a rule in a set, choose the set in the rule’s editor, under Rule set.

Which set is active

The menu in the Rule sets bar offers:

• Automatic: the first set in the list that matches the network or the time is active; if none matches, no set. The filter checks again when the network changes and every 30 seconds, even with the app closed;
• No rule set;
• one of the sets, chosen by hand.

The same choice is in the mode menu of the menu bar panel, and in Shortcuts and Focus filters.

Removing a set

Removing a set also deletes its rules: Excubia asks for confirmation and tells you how many there are.
