Description
Notifies the user before the policy runs by displaying the Starting Task dialog box.
The policy starts 60 seconds after the dialog box appears. A progress bar shows the
amount of time that remains. The user can dismiss the Starting Task dialog box but
cannot cancel the policy unless you select Allow user to turn on policy from the
Altiris Agent.
The Starting Task dialog box appears only if the Show popup notifications check
box is checked on the client computer s Altiris Agent.
Lets you allow the user to defer running the policy up to the maximum amount of
time that you select. The ability to defer policies lets the user save work and close
any open files or programs.
This check box is available only if you checked the following check box: Prompt user
before running.
When you check this check box, the Starting Task dialog box that appears to the user
contains the following options:

Lets the user select the amount of time to defer the policy. The total amount that
the user can defer the policy cannot exceed the maximum time that you specify.
Lets the user choose when to run the policy by clicking the policy in the Altiris Agent.
The user can also choose not to run the policy.
A policy s remediation options override this global setting and its related settings.
For example, if this check box is checked here but not in a specific policy, then the
user cannot choose when to run that policy.
In a Managed Software Delivery policy, this check box appears on the Policy settings
tab.
