Manage your firewall objects
The Tuning page has several features enabling you to view, add, edit, and delete your various firewall objects.
To review the converted objects
- In the upper-left corner, click FortiGate Configuration.
- Select the object category you want to review.
A list of object categories loads in the menu bar, and a table of interface is displayed.

In the address, address group, service, and service group tables, some object rows are highlighted in yellow.
