Creating Security Policies - Novell ZENWORKS ENDPOINT SECURITY MANAGEMENT 3.5 - ADMINISTRATION Administration Manual

Changes made to associated components affect all other instances of that component. For
example, you can create a single Location component named Work that defines the corporate
network environment and security settings to be applied whenever an endpoint enters that
environment. This component can now be applied to all security policies. Updates to the
environment or security settings can be changed in the component in one policy and will update
the same component in all other policies that its associated to.
Use the Show Usage command to view all other policies associated with this component.
Remove Component: Removes a component from the policy. The component is still available
for association in this and other policies.
