Changing the Sequence of Policies or Policy Groups Within a Policy Group

The sequence in which policies or policy groups appear in a policy group is the order in which they are deployed and applied to policy requests. You can modify the sequence of policies or policy groups, both inside and outside of a policy group.

To change the sequence of the policies or policy groups within a policy group:

  1. From the Policy Management section of the navigation pane, select Policy Library.

    The content tree displays a list of policy library groups; the initial group is ALL.

  2. From the content tree, select the policy group that contains the policies or policy groups that you want to reorder.

    The Policy Administration page opens in the work area, displaying the list of policies and policy groups in the selected group. They are displayed in sequential order.

  3. Click Modify.

    The Manage Policies page opens.

  4. Change the sequence of policies or policy groups within the group by doing one of the following:
    • Use the (top) and (bottom) icons, located to the left of policies or policy groups. The (top) icon moves the item it to the top of the list. The (bottom) icon moves the item it to the bottom of the list.
    • Drag and drop policies or policy groups to a different position in the sequence.
    • Change the sequence numbers, located to the left of policies or policy groups. Click Update Order to refresh the display.
    • Optionally, you can click Undo or Redo to step back and forth through your changes.
  5. Click Save.
The modified policy group is automatically redeployed, ensuring that the MPE devices are resynchronized with the CMP database.
Note: If the policy group has never been deployed, you can now deploy it. For more information about deploying policies and policy groups, see Deploying a Policy.
