Creating a New Standard

A Standard allows you to set up filters and tests that are run against specific device classes. Filters for standards are optional, but you can have as many tests as needed.

Note: With Multi-Config, Compliance Policies now incorporate Standards and Tests targeted on specific configuration files.

1. To create a new Standard, you must first select the Automation Library .
2. When the Library Manager opens, right-click on System (or a folder name), then select New -> Standard .
3. From the New Standard window, enter a name for the new Standard, then click Ok.

   

   The Automation Library editor for the newly named Standard displays.

At the General tab,

1. Beginning with the General tab, make sure the name is correct. If not, make changes, then click Save.
2. Click the Tests tab.

At the Tests tab,

1. At the Tests tab, click Manage to select the Device Classes from the list.

   

2. Move the selected Device Classes from the Available items column into the Selected Items column, by first highlighting the item or items in the Available Items column, then clicking the Add or Add All button.

   

3. Click Ok after moving the devices classes into the Selected Items column.
4. To Link a Standard to a test, click the Add button, and then select a test. Once the test is selected, click Ok. See that test you selected is now linked into the Standard.
