The rule scratch pad is used as a temporary storage location when moving rules between nodes. The concept is similar to the standard Windows clipboard, but is internal to WITNESS Miner.
Examples of where the scratch pad can be used:
The rules resulting from running a discovery node are automatically
stored on the scratch pad.
Rules from the scratch pad can be pasted into rule
nodes for analysis and editing.
Rules can be exported and imported from WITNESS Miner using a proprietary format or XML.
