Turn data control on or off

If you use role-based administration:

You must have the Policy setting - data control right to configure a data control policy.
You cannot edit a policy if it is applied outside your active sub-estate.

By default, data control is turned off and no rules are specified to monitor or restrict the transfer of files over the network.

To turn data control on:

Check which data control policy is used by the group or groups of computers you want to configure.
See Check which policies a group uses.
In the Policies pane, double-click Data control. Then double-click the policy you want to change.
The Data control policy dialog box is displayed.
On the Policy Rules tab, select the Enable data control scanning check box.
Click the Add Rule button. In the Data Control Rule Management dialog box, select the rules you want to add to the policy and click OK.
Important: If you do not add any data control rules, data control will not monitor or restrict the transfer of files until you do so.

If you later want to disable data control scanning, clear the Enable data control scanning check box.
