red octagonal icon: For convenience, just one of the constraints is identified as the blocking
constraint. This is the constraint that the system has determined as responsible for the constraint
as a whole to fail (note that individual constraint lines can fail without causing the the entire
constraint to fail).
green dot icon: A failing constraint has been disabled so that it behaves like a match (pass). The
figure below shows the green dot icon next to that the constraint that was formerly failing and
can now be forced to behave as a match.
If you right-click a constraint in the table, a popup menu with three options is displayed. This menu
lets you change the status of the constraint. Disabling a constraint is useful if you want to
temporarily relax a condition without editing or redeploying the whole policy and potentially
affecting other objects that share the policy. A disabled constraint can be re-enabled later.
Show Admin View: Select this option to open the Admin View for the specific object selected.
Disable Constraint: Select this option to disable (attach a green dot icon to) a constraint.
Disabling a constraint with this function effectively makes it match, a condition that can prove
useful if you want to perform a "what if" test without actually changing a policy.
Enable All Constraints: Select this option if you have disabled one or more constraints during
testing and you want to restore them to the enabled state.
NOTE: Health constraints are always re-evaluated in the debugger. The last system execution
(cached constraint) is not available for health constraints.
The Policy column of the constraints table displays the policy name that contributed the constraint.
Right-click a policy name to open a popup menu offering the option to open the policy editor for the
specified policy. The menu also includes constraint enabling or disabling options, just as the popup
menu for constraint column does.

6.2 The Facts Table View
The Facts Table view displays the facts referenced in the Constraint Tree view for a specified object.
Selecting a fact in the Constraint tree automatically selects that fact in the table.
