• Yep, you found your alias (there is a way to edit that, but I'm not sure what it is). If it saved, you should be there. You mapped the property bag to get the data out? After that, you should be able to create a view based on the rule. It'll take a little while for the rule to populate out to the servers and then a while for the data to start coming back, but usually I've seen results back into the database within 45 minutes or so.

    You might need to go on to one of your servers and see if errors are being generated. There's no easy way to debug these things. We don't even bother setting up a dev/test/staging process to get new rules into production.
