Signature policy options

When a signature policy is added or edited, all standard setup tabs are available (general, template, options, conditions, exceptions, date range and next policy). The options tab contains settings which vary between policy types. Available options for a signature policy are shown below:

Outlook signature policy options

These options are summarized below:

Option	Summary
Deployment Options
Name	Specify the name of the policy. The name entered here will be displayed to users in Outlook - for example, right-clicking on a generated signature shows any other signatures that are available for selection:
Make signature read only	Select this option to deploy signatures as read only on users' computers. This prevents signatures (deployed from Exclaimer Signature Manager Office 365 Edition) from being deleted, but it does not prevent users from changing signatures in their email messages.
Deploy signature to	Choose whether this signature should be used in Microsoft Outlook or in OWA. Note that OWA only allows one signature per user so, if multiple signatures apply, the last one processed will be used.
Default Signature Options
Set signature as default for new messages in Microsoft Outlook	Ensures that (if the policy is applied) this signature will be used by default when a user creates a new email using Microsoft Outlook. If a user fulfils the criteria for more than one default signature, the last policy processed will be applied. This option is only available if deployment is set to Microsoft Outlook (rather than OWA).
Set signature as default for replies and forwards in Microsoft Outlook	Ensures that (if the policy is applied) this signature will be used by default when a user replies to or forwards an email using Microsoft Outlook. This option is only available if deployment is set to Microsoft Outlook (rather than OWA).
Set signature as default in OWA	Ensures that (if the policy is applied) this signature will be used by default when a user creates a new email using OWA, and if they reply to or forward a message. This option is only available if deployment is set to OWA (rather than Microsoft Outlook).
