By default, policies are evaluated at 12:00 A.M. every night. You can schedule policies to be evaluated more frequently for proof-of-concept (POC) setups. Note that a schedule that is too aggressive can put excessive load on the Indexer.

  6. In the Property name field, enter job.PolicyJob.cron.
  7. In the Property value fields, enter the values as follows:
