might get unexpected results. For example, if you set a policy to refresh every day and don't change
the System Global Refresh Schedule, the policy will refresh every two hours by default.

15.4 Groups

A policy group is a collection of one or more policies. You can create policy groups and assign them
to devices the same way you would assign individual policies.
Description
Use this option to indicate no
schedule; no action occurs.
Select one or more dates on
which to enforce the policy on
devices and set other restrictions
that might apply. If you schedule
an event in the past, the
scheduled event will occur when
the assigned device refreshes.
Select one or more days of the
week on which to enforce the
policy on devices and set other
restrictions that might apply.
Select the event that triggers the
enforcement of the policy.
Select the day of the month on
which to enforce the policy on
devices and set other restrictions
that might apply.
Schedule when the policy is
enforced, either immediately after
the device refreshes or a
specified amount of time after the
device refreshes. The event runs
on the first device refresh only
and will not run on subsequent
refreshes. You can also specify
whether the policy's enforcement
is repeated and specify a time
period when you do not want the
policy enforced to help minimize
network traffic during that time.
