Baseline Policy Wizard

A single word	`cat`	Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats".
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase.	`"cat food"` (quotation marks)	Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase.

Topics that contain one string and do not contain another	`^` (caret)	`cat ^ mouse`
A combination of search types	`( )` parentheses	`cat + (dog \| mouse)` `cat \| dog + (! mouse)`

The baseline policy wizard enables you to create a baseline policy that defines a CI as a gold master, based on a specific view.

The wizard enables you to select a CI in the Explore Views module and use it as the gold master for all the CIs of the same type in the view. The resulting policy is calculated as soon as you close the wizard and the Explore Views module is refreshed.

Note You must have Policies Admin and Write permissions to create baseline policies.
