The anatomy of a signature policy - options

The options tab contains settings which vary between policy types. Available options for a signature policy type are shown below:

Outlook signature policy options

Options on this tab vary, depending on whether you set the deploy signature to option to Microsoft Outlook or OWA. These options are summarized below:

Option	Applies to...	Summary
Name	N/A	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:
Deploy signature to	N/A	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.
Set signature as default for new messages in Microsoft Outlook	Microsoft Outlook / OWA	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	Microsoft Outlook / OWA	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).
Remove all previous signatures	Microsoft Outlook	Use this option to remove any signatures that already exist on users' computers before deploying new ones.
Make signature read only	Microsoft Outlook	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.
Make signature options read only	Microsoft Outlook	When this option is selected, users will not be able to change Signature and Stationery options in Outlook - these options are grayed out: This option is only available when either of the following options is selected: Set signature as default for new messages in Microsoft Outlook Set signature as default for replies and forwards in Microsoft Outlook
