Rules by Question
This is where you decide how much each answer matters. The points you set here shape every applicant's score, so it is the heart of your screening.

Narrow the list
Three chips filter the questions, so you can focus.

| All questions | Every applicant question |
| Questions with scores | Only questions that carry points |
| Overridden vs master | Only questions where your points differ from the master |
When you work on a single property, you can also View all rules on one page, or download the current list for your records.
Find the question
Questions are grouped into sections on the left. Each section shows how many questions it holds, how many are scored, and how many you overrode — so you can see coverage without opening every one.
Each question row states where it stands:
- matches master — your points match the master rules.
- N overrides — you changed the points.
- not scored — the question carries no points.
Set the points
- Select a question to open its editor.
- Read the applicable law shown for the question, so your points stay compliant.
- Set the Points for each answer. The editor shows the master value next to yours, so you can see what you changed.
- Select Save.
Make an answer an automatic fail
Some answers should end an application on their own.
- Select Set this answer to auto-fail.
- For some answers, add a limit — for example, "More than [N] time(s) during last [N] year(s)."
- To undo it, select Cancel auto-fail.
Start over with Reset to master
If your changes are not working, return to the master defaults.
- Select Reset to master.
- Read the warning. This removes every override you made.
- Select Reset settings to confirm.
