Rule type

 

Select rule type (Assign/Deny/Force)

‘Assign’ means that the driver is assigned exclusively for the devices which match the filters and is denied for all other devices. Use this to assign a specific driver to the driver's target model and to prevent that driver from being installed to any other model.

‘Deny’ means that the driver is not allowed to install for the devices which match the filters. This option can be used to deny the installation of some certain driver to devices matching the filters.

‘Force’ means that the driver is preferred by the driver selection process and always copied for the installation on the devices which match the filters. If there are one or more force rules, then the device matching the filters will only use drivers from forced folders.
