10.4 Running a Policy On Demand

You can run a policy on demand by enabling the Execute Now option in the policy’s Frequency settings. If the policy is not currently running, the policy run is triggered within a few minutes after you save (submit) the policy change. Otherwise, it begins a few minutes after the currently policy run ends.
