Application collections

Application collections are a set of applications that belong together in terms of subject matter or type. You can use them in the corresponding application behavior rules or application rules.

Rather than creating individual rules for each application, you can create a rule for multiple applications (on the application collection) at once. This reduces your set of rules and keeps it simple.

Example: Three application behavior rules should apply to three applications each:

• Rule no. 1 defines that no other applications are allowed to start from within a specific application.
• Rule no. 2 defines that applications are not allowed to write to a specific directory.
• Rule no. 3 defines that applications may only write text files to a specific directory.

By using lists, the number of rules can be reduced.

Create application collections based on the following example or use the provided application collections displayed in the taskpad view.
