Using the Content Pane
The content pane (see Figure 19) lists the details of a policy object. Chapter 6, Policy Management Overview contains samples of Policy Editor content panes for the various objects.
The content pane is used for access to object details and the modification of policy objects. The information in the Meta Data tab represents creation and modification timestamps for the objects. For policy group, policy list, and policy rule objects, the General tab in the content pane consists of two subsections: a general area and a summary table:
- General area—Shows general information about the object. You are provided with various mechanisms to update data, such as captions and descriptions.
- Summary table—Shows information related to the object in a summary form.
Figure 23 shows a PolicyGroup pane with its general area and summary table.

You can update the data in the summary table itself or from a dialog box that appears when you double-click on an object in the summary table. If you right-click within a cell, a pop-up menu appears from which you can perform additional actions.
You can also double-click on a policy list or policy rule object in the summary table to select an object in the navigation pane.
The content pane changes based on your interaction to show only relevant information.
You can also modify values for conditions and actions by selecting a policy rule object in the navigation pane. The summary table in the General tab of the PolicyRule pane contains five columns, as shown in Figure 24.
