The Policies page is a core feature within Addigy. It allows you to set baselines for what you deploy to your organization's devices. Through inheritance, it allows you to create a hierarchical policy structure that makes sure your devices are in compliance with your baselines.
This article goes over the following Topics:
- Global Policy View
- Individual Policy View
- Overview Section
- History Section
- Devices Section
- Settings Section
For more information on how to Create, Configure, Deploy, and Delete Policies, check out our KBs.
Global Policy View
The global policy view allows you to do many quick tasks.
- Search through your policy structure to find your needed policy.
- Toggle to see your entire policy structure or just the top level policies only.
- Create new policies.
- Update any third party software across your entire policy structure.
- Deploy the policy or see the Deployment Status via the ... menu in the Actions column.
Individual Policy View
The individual policy view allows you to set all of your baselines for Custom Facts, Maintenance, MDM Profiles, Monitoring, OS Users, Self Service, Software (Smart Software, Apps & Books, Public Software Library), Updates (macOS Updates and Microsoft Office Updates), and Settings for your policy.
- There is a navigation drop down menu at the top to navigate to other policy pages (parent, child, grandchild policies, etc.).
- Icons next to the navigation drop down allow you to quickly see what remote control and integrated systems you have enabled for the policy.
- You can Deploy the policy to your devices from any page in the policy by clicking the button on the top right.
- Creating a New Policy can be accomplished in individual policy views as well by clicking the button on the top right.
