3.4 Renaming, Copying, and Moving Policies

The following sections provide information to help you rename, copy, and move existing policies in your ZENworks system.

3.4.1 Renaming a Policy

If necessary, you can change a policy’s name. Renaming a policy does not affect its assignments. However, it must be republished for the name change to be reflected on devices.

  1. In ZENworks Control Center, click the Policies tab.

  2. Select the check box next to the policy you want to rename, then click Edit > Rename.

  3. In the Name field, type the new name.

  4. Select the Publish changed display name immediately check box to make the change immediately available to devices.

    This increments the published policy version and ensures that devices see the name change when the next device refresh occurs. If you do not select this check box, a Sandbox version of the policy is created; the change is not available on devices until after you publish the Sandbox version.

  5. Click OK.

3.4.2 Copying a Policy

You can copy a policy to create a new policy. All of the policy’s system requirements, details, and settings are copied to the new policy. The relationships (device assignments, user assignments, and policy groups) are not copied.

  1. In ZENworks Control Center, click the Policies tab.

  2. Select the check box next to the policy you want to copy, then click Edit > Copy.

  3. In the Name field, type the name for the new policy.

  4. Click OK.

3.4.3 Moving a Policy

You can move a policy from one folder in the Policies list to another. Moving a policy does not affect the policy’s direct assignments to users and devices. It does, however, affect any assignments inherited from its current folder hierarchy.

  1. In ZENworks Control Center, click the Policies tab.

  2. Select the check box next to the policy you want to move, then click Edit > Move.

  3. Browse for and select the destination folder, then click OK.
