To execute a sourcing rule:
1. Access the Sourcing Rules table and select the row that lists the rule that you want to execute.
2. Select the execute rule icon .
The status of the rule changes to Executing.

To check the status of the rule execution, go to Site  ▶ Utilities > Queue Management and view the table in the utility. When rule's execution is complete, its status changes to Active.
You can also check the rule execution status on-the-fly by clicking to refresh the table. The status does not refresh automatically.
