Creating policies

To create a new policy:

Policy creation varies depending on the type of policy that is being created. See the following section that corresponds to the type of policy you are creating for specific instructions on creating that type of policy.

Policy creation will vary by ADOM version.

To insert a policy:

1. Select a policy.
2. From the Create New menu or the right-click menu, select Insert Above, Insert Empty Above, Insert Below, or Insert Empty Below. By default, new policies will be inserted at the bottom of the list.

   • Insert Above and Insert Below insert a copy of the selected policy.

   • Insert Empty Above and Insert Empty Below insert a new policy with all values set to empty or "none". Not all policy types support these options.

The name of the admin who creates the policy will be displayed in the Created field along with the timestamp.
