Using the Navigation Pane

The navigation pane represents the policy management system in a tree format. The top-level folder is the root; the tree branches down to subfolders and then to individual objects.

The tree structure provides instance navigation and manipulation of the policy objects. However, not all objects are available in the navigation pane. For example, ProtocolCondition in the ClassifyTrafficCondition object is considered part of the ClassifyTrafficCondition object. Thus ProtocolCondition is not shown as a branch of ClassifyTrafficCondition in the navigation pane. ProtocolCondition is manipulated as part of the content pane for ClassifyTrafficCondition. For more information about navigating through ClassifyTrafficCondition objects, see Using the Content Pane.

Figure 20 shows the policy object hierarchy that is supported. All the connections between the objects are a parent-child relationship.

To manipulate objects in the navigation pane:

After you have selected the object(s) you want, you can modify, add, cut, copy, paste, delete, or show messages for the object(s).

Navigation Pane Icons
