# Manage Active Rule Versions

The _Active Rule Version_ on a _Safety Rule Set_ indicates to the Reporting Rules Engine which of the set's _Safety Rules_ to execute when evaluating a _Case_. Each _Safety Rule_ has an assigned _Safety Rule Version_ number and _Safety Rule Version End_ number. A _Safety Rule_ is active within a _Safety Rule Set_ if the rule's _Safety Rule Version_ and _Safety Rule Version End_ meet the following conditions:
* The _Safety Rule Version_ is less than or equal to the set's _Active Rule Version_.
* The _Safety Rule Version End_ is greater than the set's _Active Rule Version_, or the _Safety Rule Version End_ is blank (unspecified).

The following examples illustrate how _Safety Rules_ become active or inactive depending on the _Active Rule Version_ of the _Safety Rule Set_:
