Agent policy settings are grouped by category in this tab. Click a category checkbox to specify the settings for that category.
Actions
Save - Saves settings for a selected policy without propagating those settings to assigned machines. A policy displays a yellow scroll icon if it has only been saved and not yet applied.
Save and Apply - Saves and applies settings for a selected policy. Apply means the settings are propagated to assigned machines. A confirmation message lets you Apply Now or Allow scheduler to apply, which applies changes using the deployment interval specified by the Settings page.
Cancel - Cancels changes made to settings without saving or applying them.
Heading
Name - The name of a policy.
Description - The description of a policy.
View - A view definition associated with the policy. Once a policy is assigned to a view definition, the policy only applies to machines that are members of that view.
Assigning a policy to a view on the Policies page is required to assign a policy using the Organizations/Machine Groups page. This prevents the unintentional assignment of a policy to all machines in the VSA. A policy without a specified view displays as a red scroll icon in the policy tree of the Organizations/Machine Groups page, indicating that it cannot be assigned. A folder with a red exclamation mark icon displays in the policy tree if it contains at least one policy without a specified view. When assigning an entire folder of policies to an organization or machine group, policies without a specified view are ignored.
Assigning a policy to a view is not required if the policy is only assigned using the Machines page.
Views created by another user and not shared with you are not available for you to select in the View drop-down list. If another user shared a policy with you but the associated view was not shared with you, the policy is read-only.
