The Intellirule Template Editor is used to edit a business rule template with errors. It is not intended to be used as a standard editor for rule templates, as it does not allow you to set-up freeze information. The editor should only be used when the business rule template has errors due to changes in the vocabulary.

When editing a rule template with this editor, freeze information may be lost as after editing, the internal structure of the rule may not correspond to the registered freeze information.

Right-click a business rule template in the Rule Explorer and select Open With > Template Text Editor.
