Editing a policy

Use the Policy Management > Policies > Edit Policy page to make changes to an existing policy, or to finish defining a new policy.

Use the top portion of the page to edit the policy name and description:

  • Click Rename to change the policy name.
  • Simply type in the Description field to change the filter description.

Under the policy description, the Clients field lists how many clients of each type (directory, computer, and network) are currently filtered by this policy. To see which clients are governed by the policy, click the link corresponding to the appropriate client type.

To assign this policy to additional clients, click Apply to Clients in the toolbar at the top of the page, and then see Assigning a policy to clients.

Use the Policy Definition area to define which filters this policy applies at different times:

Steps

  1. To add a time block to the schedule, click Add.
  2. Use the Start and End columns in the Schedule table to define the time period that this time block covers.

    To define filters for a period that spans midnight (for example, 5 p.m. to 8 a.m.), add two time blocks to the schedule: one that covers the period from the start time until midnight, and one that covers the period from midnight to the end time.

    The Example - Standard User policy demonstrates how to define a time period that spans midnight.

  3. Use the Days column to define which days of the week are included in this time block. To select days from a list, click the down arrow in the right portion of the column. When you are finished selecting days, click the up arrow.
  4. Use the Category / Limited Access Filter column to select a filter to enforce during this time block.
    To add a new filter to enforce in this policy, select Add Category Filter or Add Limited Access Filter. See Creating a category filter or Creating a limited access filter, for instructions.
  5. Use the Protocol Filter column to select a protocol filter to enforce during this time block.
    To add a new filter to enforce in this policy, select Add Protocol Filter. See Creating a protocol filter, for instructions.
  6. Use the Cloud App Filter column to select a cloud app filter to enforce during this time block.
    To add a new filter to enforce in this policy, select Add Cloud App Filter. See Creating a cloud app filter, for instructions.
  7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 to add additional time blocks to the schedule.
