Policy Template: General Information

Provide a title, change the owner, and set global options for the policy report template.  

 

Title

Enter a unique, descriptive name for this template. The title will appear in the list of templates on the report templates list, and at the top of your generated report. The title can have a maximum of 64 characters and is case-sensitive.

 


Owner

Note: The Owner menu is only visible to Managers and Unit Managers.

When creating a new policy report template, the user creating the template is automatically set as the owner of the template (no other options appear on the Owner menu). Managers and Unit Managers have the option to change the owner. To change the owner, first save the template and then edit the template. On the Edit Compliance Policy Template page, select a different user from the Owner menu. The possible assignees listed in the Owner menu depends on the global status of the template, the role of the manager making the change, and the current owner's role and business unit. Only users with compliance management privileges are listed as possible assignees.

(Managers and Unit Managers only) Managers can select this option to make the template globally available to all users in the subscription. Unit Managers can select this option to make the template globally available to all users in their business unit. If you clear this option at a later time, the template will no longer be available to sub-users.

Note that all users have the option to save personal copies of global templates published by their Managers in order to use them as the basis for new templates.
