# Policies overview

 The **Policies** section of the dashboard (*Dashboard* → *Policies*) lists all policies in your account and lets you create, copy, edit, and delete them.

## Policy list

 Policies are displayed in a table. Clicking a row opens the corresponding policy editor.

### Columns

- **Id**: internal policy identifier.
- **MDM**: the platform for the policy (Android or Apple).
- **Name**: policy name.
- **Description**: policy description.
- **Devices**: number of enrolled devices currently assigned to the policy.

### Filters and search

- If both Android Management and Apple Management are configured, you can filter the list by **All**, **Android**, or **Apple**.
- You can enable **Search** and search by policy name or description.

### Refresh and pagination

- Use the refresh action to reload the list.
- The table is paginated (10/25/50 items per page).

## Create a new policy

 At the bottom of the Policies page you can create a new policy. Depending on which platform is configured in your account, you may see one or both of these actions:

- **Create new Android policy**
- **Create new Apple policy**

<p class="callout info"> If your license is expired, policy creation (and other write actions) are disabled. </p>

## Copy and delete policies

 Each policy row has an actions menu that includes **Copy policy** and **Delete policy**.

### Delete policy warnings

 When deleting a policy, the dashboard may show additional warnings depending on how the policy is used.

- If the policy is assigned to enrolled devices, deleting it will disenroll the associated devices and wipe their apps and data.
- If the policy is assigned to enrollment tokens, those tokens may no longer be able to complete enrollment.
- If the policy is set as a default for Google Authentication enrollment (globally or for some users), deleting it can cause enrollments to fail.

### Delete multiple policies

 The Policies list supports multi-row selection for bulk deletion. In multi-select mode, you can select multiple policies and delete them in one action.

<p class="callout info"> Bulk deletion is only enabled when all selected policies belong to the same platform (all Android or all Apple). </p>

## Next: edit policy settings

 The Policies list is the entry point. To configure policy settings, use the appropriate editor documentation: [**Policies → Android**](https://enterprise.cerberusapp.com/docs/books/user-manual/chapter/policies-android "Android policies") and [**Policies → Apple**](https://enterprise.cerberusapp.com/docs/books/user-manual/chapter/policies-apple "Apple policies").

<p class="callout info"> Policies referenced by enrollment tokens are applied automatically during device enrollment. </p>
