Note This feature is a legacy feature and is only available if you’ve used it in the past. It’s highly recommended you use the Harmonization Center instead.

1. On the Connect & Mix tab, select **Harmonization Center,** and then **Transformation Rules**.
2. From the toolbar, click **Rules Method**.
3. Define what happens the next time rules are executed.
4. To set all rules to run immediately, from the toolbar click **Run Rules**.
