You can specify a directory that will be used for storing:

• The rulemap.xml file that contains information about rule mapping. The file is created when you modify rule properties with the rule map editor (see Customizing Static Analysis Rules), or can be exported from the DTP Rule Map Editor (see the DTP documentation for details).
• custom rules created with Parasoft RuleWizard

To specify the custom directory for custom rules and the rule map:

1. Click  Parasoft in the menu bar and choose 

   Preferences (Eclipse), Options (NetBeans) or Settings (IntelliJ).

2. Select Configurations.
3. Enable the User rule map option and provide the path to the directory. The default path is [INSTALL_DIR]\rules\user.
