Changing the rules in a policy

This topic describes how to modify the rules in a policy.

Prerequisites

You must have Administrator privileges to perform this task.

Context

Policy properties, including any associated rules, are stored in metadata. They are not stored in a file. Therefore, you cannot change the rules in the policy by updating the rules file that you used to initially create the policy.

Each policy has a length limit of 32 KB.

Steps

  1. Click Manage Filing→Policies from the My Work frame.
  2. Select the policy that you want to change.
  3. Click Properties from the drop-down box in the table header.
  4. Click Go.
  5. Click the Rules tab.
  6. Edit the existing rules or add new ones.
  7. Click Apply to save the changes.
