Create policy rules

After you create the policy, you can add policy rules.

Cloudlet rules determine what Virtual Waiting Room does when an incoming request meets a set of criteria. You can use Cloudlets Policy Manager to add rules, or you can add them using a CSV file.
When there is a rule match, the Action item (THEN section) is predefined as FIFO (First In First Out). Visitors are sent to the origin in the same order they entered the waiting room.

How to
Create policy rules.

1. On the Cloudlet Policy Manager screen, click the name of the policy you want to add rules to.

2. On the Policy Details screen, go to the Policy Versions section and click the version you want to update, or click Create New Version.
