In this article you will also find some session rules scenarios: Revma session rules scenarios

Geo Areas are more specific areas of the map that can be created in another location (eg. google maps) and be added here. Unlike the Geo Groups, the choice does not depend on countries.

Here are the steps to create one using Google Maps.

The url URL of the area created, can be added to the KML file URL field

In case more than one rules match, the one with the lowest integer value priority applies (0 being the highest priority). Prioritizing rules is required in a number of cases and is used to handle advanced scenarios. 

Make sure that you do not create multiple rules with the same priority, as only one of them will randomly apply.Source:

source

As source we refer to any certain IP or groups of IPs, Geo Groups or Geo Areas, filtering (groups of) listeners that the rule will apply to.Target:

target

This is the step where the rule's target is selected. Target could be a single stream, a group of streams (i.e. 30 out of 150 streams operating under an account) or all streams (any target) operating under an account.Action:
