Adding a New Application Object Parent topic

Add a new application group to consolidate multiple applications from different application categories into a single group. Add specific applications into that group to apply policies to all added applications. For example, group a set of prohibited applications that includes iTunes™, MSN Messenger®, Netflix™, and Facebook™. By default, these application reside in different application categories.
To avoid creating multiple policies blocking a specific application, group applications to allow one policy to block them.

  6. Click OK.
