Event Based

Event policies are based on the possible events arising on any DSM system, such as new assets or jobs, or modified jobs or policies. Each of these events has a predefined policy which cannot be deleted.

For some event areas, for instance, changed inventory values or installed software, custom policies can be created.

The Event Based folder consists of the following subfolders, which are empty by default. You can create new policies only for these types of policies.

You can recognize these folders by this icon: Event bases icon
