Editing software policy properties

After you create a software policy, you can view and modify its properties. You can view properties such as the SA user who created the software policy, the date when it was created, and the SA ID of the software policy. You can also modify the name, description, availability, the location of the policy in the Library and the operating systems of the software policy.

To define the properties of a software policy:

From the navigation pane, select Library > By Type > Software Policies.
From the content pane, select the policy and open it. The policy window appears.
From the Views pane, select Properties. You can edit the name, description, location, life cycle, and operating systems for the policy in the content pane.
In the Name field, edit the name for the software policy.
In the Description field, edit the text that describes the purpose or contents of the policy.
Click Select to change the location for the policy in the folder hierarchy. The Select Folder window appears. Select a folder in the Library to specify the location of the policy and then click Select.
From the Availability drop-down list, select the SA server life cycle values for the software policy.
From the OS drop-down list, select the operating system family or specific operating systems in that family. If the chosen operating system family does not match any of the software packages in the policy, a dialog will appear displaying the non-matching items and providing the option to remove the non-matching items.
- If you do not wish to remove the non-matching items, click Cancel to change the OS selection or to modify the packages included in the policy.
- If you still wish to proceed, click Next.
If you choose to remove the non-matching items and save the policy, the next time the attached servers are remediated, those packages will be uninstalled from the servers.
In the Template field, select Yes to designate a policy as a template. A policy template is not persistently associated with a server. See the Software policy templates for information about policy templates.
To save the changes, select Save from the File menu.

In the SA Client, a policy is represented by the icon . A software template is represented by the icon .
