# Define an ICAP rule

When multiple jobs are running at the same time, it may be necessary to limit the number of ICAP parallel scans. To do so, we must define a specific **File Transfer Rule**.

To create a new Rule, got to **Setup** → **File Transfer Rules** and click the **NEW RULE** button in the top right corner. The **New Rule** dialog box will appear.

Select the **Create your rule** option.

In the **NEW RULE** window, assign a name to the rule in the **Rule name** field. Use the name **ICAP server** to easily recognize it among other rules.

Then, you can set the limit of concurrent ICAP scans in the edit box on the right. If you set the limit to 0 no scans will be performed.

Now, you can select the **conditions** in the drop-down lists on the left and the **attribute** on the right.\
To properly configure an ICAP rule, you must set these conditions and attributes:

| Condition        | Attribute                                                  |
| ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Direction**    | Outbound                                                   |
| **Role**         | Client                                                     |
| **Cluster Name** | Select the Cluster onto which you want to limit ICAP scans |

You will also need to add **two new conditions** to the rule by clicking the **Add condition** button:

| Condition       | Attribute |
| --------------- | --------- |
| **Destination** | ICAP      |
| **Protocol**    | CMD       |

On the right of the window, use the **WHEN** section to define the time interval when the Rule will be applied.

Once you have defined all the attributes for your ICAP rule, click **Save**. Your Rule is now visible on the results list.&#x20;
