17.11 Renaming, Copying, or Moving Policies
Use the drop-down list on the Policies page to edit an existing object. To access the drop-down list, you must select an object by clicking the check box next to the object's name in the list.
Depending on the type of object you select, you can rename, copy, or move the object. For example, if you select a Policy object, you can rename, copy, and move the policy. If you select a Policy Group object, you can rename or move the Policy Group object, but not copy it. If the option is dimmed, that option is not available for the selected object type.
Some actions cannot be performed on multiple objects. For example, if more than one check box is selected, the option is not available from the menu.
