Hi Kyle, 

Thanks for this feedback. Chris and I had thought it might make it clearer
having a separate section for each item type, that way there is no confusion
around which rule (if there multiple conflicting ones) was prioritised for a
particular itemtype.

However, thinking about this more I think you and Nick (in comment #62) are
right about having a wildcard option for every item type, and making for a
simpler upgrade patch. 

I think Nick's suggestion of using the _ALL_ option as the wildcard, and having
that override item type specific rules, like in UpdateItemLocationOnCheckin,
would be good so as to maintain consistency in the sysprefs.

I am working on amending my patches to do that now.

Kind regards,
Alex
