Creating a policy

Use the Policy Management > Policies > Add Policy page to create a new, custom policy.

Steps

  1. Enter a unique Policy name. The policy name must be between 1 and 50 characters long, and cannot include any of the following characters:
    * < > ` ' { } ~ ! $ % & @ # " [ ] | \ ^ + = ? / ; : . ,

    Policy names can include spaces, dashes, and apostrophes.

  2. Enter a Description for the policy. The description should be clear and detailed to help with policy management in the long term.
    The character restrictions that apply to filter names also apply to descriptions, with 4 exceptions; periods (.), commas (.), and brackets ([ ]) can be included in descriptions.
  3. To use an existing policy as the foundation for the new policy, mark the Base on existing policy check box, and then select a policy from the drop-down list.
    To start with an empty policy, leave the check box unmarked.
  4. Click OK to cache your changes and go to the Edit Policy page.
    Use the Edit Policy page to finish defining the new policy. See Editing a policy.
