You can add data migration rules using rule syntax. The rules syntax combines INCLUDE and EXCLUDE statements, where you can add various expressions to specify file types and migration conditions within these statements. For example, INCLUDE (<FILENAME *.mp3> AND <FILE_SIZE_OVER 2GB>). In this example, rule syntax defines to include files with an mp3 extension and a size exceeding 2GB to move.
