General Procedures for Using Policy Editor
This section describes some general procedures that you can perform with Policy Editor.
Customizing Policy Editor Properties
The Customize command allows you to customize some of the properties in Policy Editor. To customize Policy Editor properties:
The Policy Editor Properties dialog box appears.
![]()
- Select the parameters you want from the drop-down box in each field (see Table 19).
Specifies whether or not object names in the navigation pane are prefixed with their object type.
Choose between the following available IP address field labels:
Opening Multiple Policy Editor Windows
Clicking File > New Window allows you to open another main Policy Editor window. You can have multiple Policy Editor windows running at the same time. The status bar at the bottom of the window shows what the window is connected to.
You can copy and paste information from one window to another. You cannot cut and paste information from one window to another. If you use the drag-and-drop function (see Using Drag and Drop to Cut and Paste Objects), the operation will copy and paste information to the other window.
Printing Policy Objects
You can print the properties specified for a policy object or objects that you select either to a text file or to a printer. To print the information to a printer, you must have the printer configured to the system. (See your operating system or printer manual for configuration.)
The format of the print data is a structured representation of the object(s) you have selected.
You can print the properties from policy groups and policy folders; you cannot print the properties from a policy list, policy rule, policy condition, or policy action.
Undoing and Redoing Operations
Clicking Edit > Undo allows you to undo the last operation you performed on an object. Your most recent addition, modification, or deletion is canceled. Similarly, clicking Edit > Redo allows you to redo the last operation you performed on an object.
You can undo or redo up to 10 operations. However, you must undo or redo the most recent operation first. That is, if you want to undo a modification you made before you added an object, you must undo adding the object before you can undo your earlier modification.
When you click Undo or Redo, the name of the object type, not the name of the specific object, appears.
Filtering Searches
The Filter option allows you to limit the number of objects loaded in the navigation pane based on attributes of the policy group. Use the filter to group and identify objects that satisfy the search criteria. Filter is not active when you work with files.
![]()
The filter is applied only to a search operation on the directory. It has no effect on newly created objects in the navigation pane or from the Save operation, because they do not result in an LDAP search operation.
Table 20 lists the supported attributes for the policy group search filter.
Each entry creates a Boolean expression. For example, if you type
internet
in the Description field, the resulting Boolean expression is PolicyGroup.Description=*internet*. PolicyGroup.Description maps to the corresponding LDAP attribute name.If you specify more than one field in the Filter window, the system combines the information in a logical AND operation.
Before changing the search filter, the system prompts you to save the changes made to the objects. You must save your changes because changing the filter results in cleaning the policy objects in the navigation pane and the Policy Editor directory cache.
Finding Objects in the Navigation Pane
The Find command allows you to find objects in the navigation pane based on object type and name. The Find operation is started from the current selection in the navigation pane. If you have not selected an object in the navigation pane, Find starts from the root of the tree (that is, the Repository folder).
![]()
Object Type is a mandatory field. If you do not select an object type and you start the Find operation, the system prompts you to enter an object type.
You can refine your search as follows:
- Match case—Make the search case sensitive.
- Wrap search—Wrap back to the top of the search area when the end of the search area is reached.
- Direction—Find objects in the Up or Down directions with respect to the current selection in the navigation pane.
If the object cannot be found, the system displays a warning stating that the object matching the given criteria cannot be found.
If the object is found, select it. The system displays the information about the object in the content pane.
