In this dialog box, choose the rule file Directory from the list. The list displays the valid rule file locations where you can write rule files. Next, enter a rule file Name. You will also need to enter a Unique ID for the rule file.

The list of directories are determined by the locations where you are allowed to save rule files. These may include a custom\publishingrules directory and your home directory (as specified by your HOME environment variable).

You can see all rule file locations by choosing Help > Session and finding the entry for Rule file path on the Session tab. This path list contains both read and write file paths. If you don’t see a rule file directory in the Directory list that you expect to see, you may not have write access to it.

A publishing rule file has the file extension .prcf. Remember that a rule file can contain both rules and rule sets, and that those rules and rule sets can be either local or server within the same publishing rule file.
