Ruleset: Design insights consist of a structure that groups them into logical sets. So called rulesets. Rulesets help identify the sort of insights and give you ways to navigate the findings as rulesets show up in the catalog column sets and on the Design Insights page.
Insight: Each ruleset contains one or more insights. Each Insight can consist of either a single search pattern or one or many blocks of advanced patterns. All patterns inside one block have an 'OR' relationship to each other. Meaning that if any of the patterns in that block is matched the result of that block results in a TRUE value for the database that pattern was found in. If an insight has multiple blocks the relationship between the blocks of patterns is that of an 'AND' relation. Meaning that if all blocks result in a TRUE value the insight returns a value of TRUE and the database is listed as having that design insight.
Pattern: A pattern is a search string that is fired on the collective set of database designs and returns any code elements that match the search string. The format of a pattern can be in either plain text or in the form of a regex expression*.

Keep in mind that newly added patterns, insights and rulesets will not be evaluated until the next evening run which typically starts at 18:30 (depending on your ApplicationInsights server's locale). Please allow for at least one night for results to show up. |

Creating a Pattern
To create a design pattern, you first need to have the search string or regular expression you want to test for. You can use the Code Search to build and test a pattern and check whether it returns the results you would expect.
After knowing what pattern to search for open the Design Insights – Manage view and switch to the "Patterns" tab in the left column. All patterns are listed here.
