Correlations Group

This group lists all the pertinent correlation queries for the object type being edited. All direct correlation sections still exist. All indirect correlation sections have been collapsed into a single section. For more data, see Working with correlation queries.

Usage Types

Some assertions may only be used on an endpoint (for example, Hours of Operation and Propagate policy). Other assertions may only be used with a policy (for example: Reject Always).

An assertion type can have an allowedUsageConstraint annotation: ENDPOINT POLICY BOTH.

The system does not permit you to add an assertion to a policy if it is constrained to endpoints and vice-versa. This prevents imaginative “creative” yet unsupported, use of Hours of Operation and other specialized assertion types. The usage constraints for an assertion are shown in the Assertion Type editor.

Content-based Assertions

There are three ways to define the composite policy used for an endpoint selection:

Assertion Comparators

The following policy condition comparators are available for writing expressions about content-based assertion properties:
