5.2.6 Software Rule Management
The Software Rule Management allows you to manage software applications the
user may install on the client device through setting software rules. You may apply
whitelist and blacklist rules to software and when the user installs a software that
violates the whitelist rule or complies to the blacklist rule, an email notification will
be sent to user-defined receivers notifying them of this software installation.

• Ensure the SMTP settings are set and can receive the test email before

.
• A notification email will be sent for each violated/met condition which
would send a notification email, for example, if a software was installed on
the client device, and it met a blacklist condition and violated a whitelist
condition at the same time, two notification emails would be sent.
• If a software that does not comply to the software rules was installed on
a client device that is offline, the system will check for violations and send
notification emails once the device is online.
