Creating application rules

To create an application rule in the DOC, proceed as follows:

1. After you select the Create application rule option, a wizard will open.

2. On the Properties tab, choose whether you want to create an application rule manually or whether you want to collect file information from binaries to create it.

   In case you create it manually, enter a rule name and select the rule type. It determines the basic behavior of the rule:

   • Do not block: This setting corresponds to the Whitelist rule type, the selected application is allowed and may be executed.

   • Block: This setting corresponds to the Blacklist rule type, the selected application is forbidden and may not be executed.

   • Ask user: With this rule type, an application is allowed (whitelist), but the user must confirm its start.

   • Active: This option is set by default. If you want to create the rule but do not want to activate it right away, you can uncheck it.

3. On the Options tab, you specify the criteria (file properties) that determines whether to allow or block an application.
