You can define block criteria to ensure that Application Control always blocks certain applications or you can create "Assessment" criteria to monitor the applications that users access.
The Application Control Criteria screen appears.
The Block Criteria Settings screen appears.
Application Control logs all applications that match the assessment criteria but takes no further action. Application Control allows the applications to execute normally.
