● Do not apply automatically—This option does not apply a policy automatically to the devices.
● Apply the policy to new devices—This option automatically applies the policy to a registered device that belongs to a
selected group or to the device that is moved to a selected group. When this option is selected, the policy is applied to all
the new devices that are registered to the group. To run the job on the existing devices present in the group, you must
schedule the policy. After you schedule the policy, the job status displays the count of devices that are already present in

schedule the policy, the job status displays the count of devices that are already present in the group.
