Since this is for an allow rule you will need to select weather to

rules. Click Next to continue. -
On this screen you can select which profiles the rule applies to.
Domain applies when the inbound connection is coming from a computer
within the domain. Private applies when the inbound connection is coming
from a source that has selected Private for it's profile. Public applies
to all connections coming from a source whose profile is set to Public.
You can select one, two or all three. Click Next to continue. -
This is the screen were you will give the rule a name and any
description you would like to specify. Click Finish to create the rule
