Policy Summary

Policy manager will show a policy summary for which ever circuit and version is selected in the drop down. Each section for policy summary expands to show more details related to the policy.

Pull Policy

If you have multiple circuits with Dynamic Defense, pull policy can be used to copy and paste an existing policy to any other circuit in your portal. To use pull policy, first make sure you are on the circuit that need an updated policy. Confirm by looking at the circuit or name at the top right of the portal by the bell icon.

Open policy manager and select the circuit which has the policy you would like to pull. Once you have selected the circuit, the "pull policy" icon will appear.

When you click "pull policy" a pop up will appear confirming which circuit the policy will be pulled from and copied to.

You will have the options to "pull as draft" or "pull and apply". "Pull as draft" will copy the policy and let you review the draft before applying. "Pull and apply" will copy the policy and immediately apply it as active policy.

View Policy

View policy will exit policy manager and take you to the policy configuration module within the portal itself. This function allows you to switch circuits or view a previous version of the current circuit.

To switch circuits, select a different circuit in the first drop down in policy manager, then click "view policy". Policy manager will close, and you will be taken to the new circuit's policy module where you can make edits or view insights.

To view a previous version, select the version you wish to see in the second drop down in policy manager, then click "view policy". Policy manager will close, and you will be taken to the previous version within the policy module of the portal itself. If you would like to restore the previous policy, click the "Inactive" button on the right-hand side.
