Policies
The Policies page provides a unified space for administrators to define and manage rules from a single page and apply them to more than one network or application at the same time. The task of blocking application access and wireless network availability schedules are managed as policies. You can create a maximum of 32 policies for an Instant On site. If more than once policy is created and activated, the policy with the higher priority will be applied first on the site. If there are many rules about the same element, the rule with the highest priority is applied and the remaining policies are discarded, using the smallest common factor:
- A category for an application policy.
- A network for a network schedule policy.
