Last published : Apr 17, 2026
By default, all the policies are disabled. You must enable a policy if you want the Arctera Insight Classification to check for and tag the items that match the policy.
Note: Enabling a lot of policies can affect performance. In addition, policies with complex conditions take longer to process than those with simple conditions.

  1. In the left navigation pane, click Policies.
  2. To enable or disable a single policy, search for and select that policy, and click Edit.
