The Application Control wizard provides safe configuration of App Control policies for many
common use cases, but not for everything. If at any time during the wizard you are unable to
find the options that you need, you can click Cancel and proceed using manual configuration.
When configuring manually, you must remember to configure all components, including match
objects, actions, email address objects if required, and finally, a policy that references them.
For the manual policy creation procedure, see the “Configuring an App Rules Policy” section
