# SETCFRULE

You can enable or disable conditional formatting rules using this function. Note that the rule should already have been created to be able to refer to it in the function.

### Syntax

```javascript
SETCFRULE(CFRULE.RULE_NAME, BOOLEAN_ARG)
```

### Arguments

RULE\_NAME – The name of the conditional formatting rule to be set.

BOOLEAN\_ARG - Set to TRUE to enable the rule. Set to FALSE to disable the rule.

### Example

```
SETCFRULE(CFRULE.[Data Bars - Profit], TRUE) #Enables the data bar rule set for sales
SETCFRULE(CFRULE.[Sequential - Sales], FALSE) #Disables the data bar rule set for sales
SETCFRULE(CFRULE.[Sequential - Sales], THIS) #Disables the data bar rule set for sales
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.inforiver.com/formula-syntax/scripting-functions/setcfrule.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
