What does the Policy Management Utility do?
The Policy Management Utility is where you combine TTC's pre-defined default or your custom-defined Property and Time Sets into a Policy. Once you create a Policy, you can assign it to an end-user.

1. If creating a new Policy, click the 'create a new policy' link. Otherwise, select a Policy from the Policy pulldown and skip to #4.
2. Name the Policy in the field provided.
3. Click the Save link.
4. Select/Add/Delete the Property and Time sets you want to use.
5. Click the Add Set link. TTC automatically saves the Policy. You can now apply the Policy to Assignees.
