Filter details

When any time block in the schedule is selected, the details provided in the tabs in the bottom portion of the Edit Policies page shows the filters enforced during that time block. The tabs are designed to match the edit filter pages available from Main > Policy Management > Filters.

Filter details include:
  • The filter type (category filter, limited access filter, protocol filter, or cloud app filter) in the tab heading.
  • The filter name and description.
  • The filter contents.
    • Category filter:
      • The filter description.
      • The filter contents (category names with actions to be applied).

        Use the search option provided to find a specific category in the list. Note, however, that the search option is not available if either the Permit All or Block All filter is selected.

      • The number of policies that enforce the same filter.
      • A section to the right to edit the category filter by changing the action assigned to a category, or adding advanced filtering options to selected categories.
    • Limited access filter:
      • The filter description.
      • A list box containing the sites previously added to the filter.

        Use the Add Sites and Add Expressions button to add permitted URLs, IP addresses, or regular expressions to the filter.

      • To remove a site from the filter, mark the check box next to the URL, IP address, or expression, and then click Delete.
      • The number of policies that use the same filter.
    • Protocol filter:
      • The filter description.
      • The filter contents (protocol names with actions to be applied).

        Use the search option provided to find a specific protocol in the list. Note, however, that the search option is not available if either the Permit All or Block All filter is selected.

      • The number of policies that enforce the same filter.
      • A section to the right to edit the filter by changing the action assigned to a protocol, or adding advanced filtering options to selected protocols.
    • Cloud app filter:
      • The filter description.
      • The filter contents (Block all high risk apps checkbox and blocked and permitted apps lists).

        Enable or disable the checkbox and use the search options provided to find a specific cloud app for inclusion in either list.

      • The number of policies that enforce the same filter.

When you edit a filter on this page, the changes affect every policy that enforces the filter. Before editing a filter that is enforced by multiple policies, click the This filter is active in link to see exactly which policies will be affected.

Note that the filter names and descriptions cannot be changed from the Edit Policies page. Those options are available only by accessing the filter directly from the Main > Policy Management > Filters page.

When you finish editing a policy, click OK to cache your changes. Changes are not implemented until you click Save and Deploy.
