## About this task

You can configure activation conditions and triggers for a result improvement rule. Additional topics cover steps for configuring boost, block, or promote actions for your rule.  
Note:  
Each result improvement rule can only perform actions of a single type when activated. You can define multiple actions of the same type for a rule.

## Procedure

2. Open the search profile that you want to add the result improvement rule to.
3. In the Result Improvement Rules related list, select Create.
4. On the AI Search Results Improvement Rule form, fill in the fields.  
   For a description of the field values, see [AI Search Results Improvement Rule form](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/7GKMMPrBCMGQVmlwLab16A "The AI Search Results Improvement Rule form contains information about result improvement rules defined in your search profiles for AI Search. Use this form when creating or modifying a result improvement rule.").
5. Select Submit.  
   The Actions related list appears.
6. Choose the action that you want the result improvement rule to perform when activated, and see the appropriate topic for configuration steps:
