Specifying the Scope of a Design/Change-Time Policy

Property

Description

Object Types

The list of object types to which this policy applies. A design/change-time policy can be applied to the objects listed in Objects on Which Design/Change-Time Policies Can Operate.

Note:

If the object that you select is a base type that has virtual types associated with it, and the Inherit Base Type Policies option is enabled for certain of its virtual types, be aware that the policy you create will be applied to instances of the base type and instances of those virtual types. For more information about how CentraSite applies policies to base types and virtual types, see Applying Policies to Virtual Types. For information about which predefined types in CentraSite have virtual types associated with them, see the CentraSite Administrator’s Guide.

You can optionally restrict a policy to specific instances of the selected object types by specifying additional object-selection criteria. For procedures, see Refining the Object Scope.

Event Types

The list of event types to which the policy applies.

Note:

Not all event types occur for all object types. See Supported Object and Event Combinations.

Important:

The OnCollect, OnMove and OnExport events are designed to execute handler and collector processes. Do not use these events unless you are creating a handler or collector policy. The improper use of these event types can damage the registry. For information about creating collector and handler policies, see Collector and Handler Policies.

Organization

Determines whether the policy belongs to a specific organization or is system-wide. For more information about the Organization property, see System-Wide versus Organization-Specific Policy Enforcement.

Important:

You cannot change the value of the Organization property if the policy is system-wide.
