Catalog items — such as software, profiles, custom facts, and maintenance scripts — are added to and removed from Policies through the Policy's Assets tab. Changes take effect at the next automatic deployment, which runs approximately every 30 minutes.
How to Add Items to a Policy
- Navigate to Policies and open the Policy you want to modify.
- Select the Assets tab in the left sidebar, then choose the category containing the item you want to add (for example, Software, Device Settings, or Custom Facts).
-
Items not yet in the Policy will show a status of Not in policy. Check the box next to the item(s) you want to add.
-
Click Add/Remove > Add to policy.
-
In the confirmation dialog, click Confirm.
Once added, the item's status will update to In policy and it will be deployed to all assigned devices at the next deployment cycle.

The item will be removed from the Policy and from all devices assigned to it at the next deployment cycle.
Item Status Reference
Each catalog item in the Assets tab displays one of the following statuses:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Not in policy | The item exists in your Catalog but has not been added to this Policy. |
| In policy | The item has been added to this Policy and will deploy to assigned devices. |
| In parent | The item is assigned to a parent Policy and is inherited by this child Policy. It cannot be removed from this view — changes must be made in the parent Policy. |
