Managing Automation Policies

You can configure and manage the automation policies that you have available on Notification Server. You can create new policies, edit existing policies, turn a policy on or off when necessary, set the appropriate security on a policy, and delete a policy when it is no longer required.

    Manage
    menu, click

    You can use the automation policy test to check that all of the policy components are consistent, and that the input parameters are mapped properly. The test executes the policy, and the results of the action are displayed in the Job/Task log.
