Editing Policies

When editing a policy, you can modify any policy characteristics. For example, by clearing the Make this policy active check mark, that policy no longer applies for the Scope. You could also

change the policy by selecting a previously saved file or uploading a policy file from our Web site.

Policies are saved to the database. If more than one person is editing the same policy at the same time, the version saved last is the only version that will be stored.

To edit a policy:

1.In the table at the top of the Policies page, click the Edit hyperlink in the same row as the policy you want to edit.

The Update settings appear below the table. Make the necessary changes.

2.Select a policy file to associate with the policy using one of the following methods.

Upload a policy file – Type the name or Browse to transfer a copy of a file from the console application to the server application. If the SIF file is encrypted, type a password in the Password box to decrypt it.

Download this file from the Policy File Library – Transfer a copy of a policy file from the Policy File Library to the requesting computer by means of a modem or network. Click the Choose button to display a list of the policy files available in

the library. Click a policy file to select it.

This option is available only if the server can access a Policy File Library.

3.Some policy files display a Policy Configuration box when you select them. If the Policy Configuration box appears, select the configuration settings in the box.

4.Change the name or optional description of the policy.

5.If you want the policy to be available to use in audits, check the Make this policy active box.

Clear the check box to make the policy unavailable to use in audits without deleting the policy.
