How to Test and Edit Taxonomy Rules

When you test your rule(s), scoring shows you the ranked order of the matched documents based on the rule term matches that AutoClassifier locates in each document. Documents are only added after the first crawl or after some Rules testing is performed. Both of the following components must be correctly configured before the Test rule button appears under the Term Rule field:
