# Rules/Detections

Rules can be applied across the entire facility (**Facility rules**) or targeted to specific zones (**Zone rules**). If set for the entire facility, rules will run on all cameras within that facility. Alternatively, zone-specific rules will only apply to cameras within the defined zone area. To learn how to create zones, visit our [Facilities](/volt/8EnMblOhYy6VQJFNi0Vz/portal/facilities.md) page.

Rules can be configured to operate on any day and during specific time ranges. For a detailed understanding of rule capabilities and limitations, please refer to the [Detection Capabilities](/volt/8EnMblOhYy6VQJFNi0Vz/faq/detection-capabilities.md) page.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.volt.ai/volt/8EnMblOhYy6VQJFNi0Vz/portal/rules-detections.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
