About common objects | Trend Micro

Views:

The Common Objects pages (located under Policies → Common Objects in the Server & Workload Protection console) provide a way to define objects once so that you can reuse them various policies and rules. When you use one of the common objects in the policy or computer editor, its settings can be overridden for that specific policy or computer. For more information on how common object properties can be inherited and overridden at the policy or computer level, see Policies, inheritance, and overrides.

Tip

You can automate common object creation and configuration using the Server & Workload Protection API.
