Policy Object Manager
Policy Object Manager
Use the Policy Object Manager to:
• View all available objects grouped by object type.
• Create, copy, edit, and delete policy objects.
• Drag and drop objects onto existing policies to update the policy definition.
• Generate usage reports, which describe how selected objects are being used by other Security
Manager objects and policies.
Navigation Path
In Device view or Policy view, click the Policy Object Manager button on the toolbar, or choose Policy
Objects from the Manage menu. (The Policy Object Manager cannot be opened from Map view.)
Note When you open the Policy Object Manager, it is initially displayed as a pane in the lower half of the
current view to make dragging and dropping objects easier. You can “undock” this pane, making the
Policy Object Manager a separate window; you also can “re-dock” the window. See Policy Object
Manager: Undocking and Docking, page 6-8 for more information.
