Policy name

The name of the policy configuration.

Targets

Administrators can manually select targets or use a filter to automatically assign targets to their policies. The target selection method determines the policy type and how the policy works. See Understanding Policy Types for more information about policy types.

To include a managed product or endpoint as the target, make sure the product version of the managed product or endpoint supports policy management in Control Manager. The Policy Template Settings screen contains information about supported product versions.

Settings

Once Control Manager deploys a policy to the targets, the settings defined in the policy overwrite the existing settings in the targets. Control Manager enforces the policy settings in the targets every 24 hours. Although local administrators can make changes to the settings from the managed product console, the changes are overwritten every time Control Manager enforces the policy settings.
