Policy levels

When you create policies, you can assign them a level that indicates execution priority order. The tree structure demonstrates the hierarchy that has been assigned. You can have as many levels as you wish. When you create a policy level, you assign it a name and an execution order.

For example, you may create 3 levels called High, Medium, and Low, where high- level policies are executed first, medium-level policies second, and low-level policies last. If there is a match when data is scanned according to the high-level policies, no scanning is performed on other levels. (All policies on the high level are still checked.) If there is no match, data is scanned according to medium-level policies, and so on.

At first, after installation, Forcepoint DLP has just one priority level.
