Description:
Going into Dashboard->Advisors->Add to schedule

if you select a rule, then apply and the rule cannot be applied, you get a yellow window with an error and then, after closing it, you get a gray box saying something like

1 rule applied to 1 server (0 entries added to schedule).

Which I consider kind of confusing. If the rule (or if the 10 rules I selected) were not "added", maybe we should re-phrase it to

"No rules were applied" or something like that.

How to repeat:
see description.

This is a tricky thing to communicate. The current message (after much discussion) is by design.

What it's trying to communicate is that you attempted to apply X rules to Y servers and Z were successfully scheduled. While we could special case the 0 case for successful schedules created, I'm not sure that this is an added benefit - removing pertinent info about what we _tried_ to do.
