Edit Policy Applicabilities

Important: Any time you edit applicabilities, the relationship between policy and product is broken and will need to be reestablished with the updated applicability.

There are two possible workflow scenarios associated with editing policy applicabilities. In the first scenario, you may edit your policy and product applicabilities as a matter of maintenance of your organization's policies and products.

Editing Applicabilities (Without a Content Release)

In the second scenario, a change in content may require you to edit applicabilities for products and policies. For example, a new content release may introduce a new applicability or have an applicability removed. As you copy or repost your products and/or policies to the new content, you will find it necessary to edit the applicabilities assigned to your existing products and/or policies to ensure your products and policies are accurate.

Editing an Applicability (New Content Release)

Tip: We strongly recommend making a copy of your policy prior to making any applicability changes. Doing so allows you the ability to retain the original policy while making your changes to the copied version.

Important: Editing the policy applicabilities requires a thorough review of all policy data, as all questions already answered could be affected by a change in applicability, and sometimes it is not readily apparent when something has changed within a policy.
