Article Summary

The Enforcement Center page displays a list of all Enforcement Sets and allows you to create, view, modify, duplicate, run, and delete them.

Each Enforcement Set executes a saved query, called the trigger, and then automatically performs the configured actions on the assets that match the query. You can also perform relevant Enforcement Actions on the results of queries run on the Adapter Fetch and Activity Log pages, thus enabling you to create actions on information generated by Axonius itself.

To open the Enforcement Center page, click the EC_Icon icon on the left navigation panel.

EnforcementCenterNew

The Enforcement Center page consists of the following main elements:

  1. Folders pane (left pane)
  2. Search/Filter bar
  3. Enforcement Sets table (main area)

The Folders Pane

Use the Folders pane to organize your Enforcement Sets into folders which you can create and name according to your needs.

These folders are default:

The following describes some rules regarding the system folders:

  • The Enforcement Sets in the Predefined Enforcement Sets folder are Read Only and cannot be modified or removed. You can save them as regular Enforcement Sets.
  • You can add and remove Enforcement Sets to/from the other folders - Shared Enforcements, Drafts, or Quick Actions folders.
  • You cannot delete or rename system folders, including All Enforcements, Shared Enforcements, Drafts, Quick Actions, and Predefined Enforcements sets.
  • Under the Shared Enforcements folder only, you can create up to five levels of subfolders, as necessary. When you hover over a Shared Enforcements subfolder, the More menu appears. From here, you can create a new subfolder, rename a subfolder, or delete a subfolder.

Note:
Deleting a Shared Enforcements subfolder deletes its Enforcement Sets from the system.

See Managing Enforcement Sets for more information.
