2.6 Viewing Policy Status Information

ZENworks Handheld Management lets you view policy status information for each enabled policy, including a list of all handheld devices and User objects that a policy is associated with, the status of each policy, and the date and time that the policy was last enforced. You can also view status information about all policies associated with a specific handheld device.

The following sections contain more information:
