The anatomy of a signature policy - next policy

If you have a number of signature policies which are dependent upon each other, you can create a 'policy chain' using the next policy tab:

Whilst you control the sequence in which signature policies are processed using the policy tab, next policy options allow you to define specific policy chains based on whether the previous policy in the chain is or is not applied. These options are:

If this policy is applied then:

• Process the next signature policy

• Don't process any more signature policies

If this policy is not applied then:

• Process the next signature policy

• Don't process any more signature policies

If this policy is not applied because an exception was matched:

• Process the next signature policy

• Don't process any more signature policies

You can use these options for a wide range of scenarios, creating policy chains as simple or as complex as required.  

Unless a next policy option is set to don't process any more signature policies, Exclaimer Signature Manager Office 365 Edition will continue to process policies in the policy list.
