Add Action: Launch Application

You can launch an application when the policy is violated. The application will be launched on the engine evaluating the policy.

The Configure Policy Actions dialog for this policy contains the following fields and check box:

Application

Specifies the application to be launched. Click the Browse button (...) to open the Application Job dialog to select an executable file.

Launch Hidden

Runs the executable file and hides it from the user, when checked. That is, the launch of the application is hidden from the user and the user cannot see the execution of the application.

Default: Disabled.

Note: Some applications do not support the Launch Hidden functionality.

Perform action when Asset no longer violates Policy

Evaluates the policy as defined during policy creation.

When you select this check box, the following happens when an asset no longer complies with the policy:

• The asset is no longer displayed in the Violators list.
• The policy is removed from the violated policies list in the Home page of the asset and the domain home page.
• The asset icon changes to the default icon (when it does not violate another policy).
• The configured action will be initiated.
