About Policy Plans

Policy plans contain three components, displayed as folders.

SELECT

SELECT contains the group(s) that will function as Select Groups. These are the groups that will eventually be selected from the Target Group when the policy is evaluated.

A group is categorized as a Select Group when it has been dragged to the SELECT folder of a policy plan.

Policies can be nested, which means that each sub-policy contains a SELECT item with its own Select Group.

When you apply the policy plan to a Target Group, the policy determines which of the computers in the Target Group also meet the criteria for the Select Group.

Any number of groups can be added to the SELECT folder. If the SELECT folder is empty when the policy plan is assigned to a Target Group, then all the members of the Target Group are candidates for the profiles in the APPLY and REMOVE folders.

APPLY

APPLY contains the name of one or more Master Profiles that must be installed by this policy plan. Any number of profiles can be added to the APPLY folder.

You define the profiles in Command Center or Web Admin and make them available to Enterprise Manager. More info...

REMOVE

REMOVE contains the name of one or more Master Profiles whose packages must not be installed by this policy plan. If any package in the profile already exists on any of the computers in the Select Group, the package is uninstalled from the computer.
