Understanding the policy tester window

The policy tester allows you to select a user for whom a test signature will be applied, together with a date and time (so you can check any date range conditions that might have been set):

Simply use the browse [...] button associated with the Outlook user field to select the required user and click the arrow associated with the test date field to select the required date from a popup calendar. Having selected a date, you can adjust the time manually, if required.

Remember that any signatures generated in the policy tester are never actually deployed, so you can select whichever sender is most appropriate for testing a policy, without concern.
