Managing a Policy

Administrators can view, edit, publish, and delete policies from the Policies list in the Control Panel. The list gives a quick overview of all policies along with their current status.

Navigation Path

Control Panel → Forms/Policies → Policies

Understanding the Policies List

The Policies list displays all saved policies with the following information:

  • Title: The name of the policy
  • Applicable To: The departments or groups this policy is assigned to
  • Updated By: The name of the admin who last modified the policy and the date of the change
  • Published: Shows whether the policy is currently published or unpublished
  • Acknowledgeable: Shows whether acknowledgement has been enabled for the policy

At the top of the list, count badges show the total number of policies along with how many are published and how many are unpublished.

Available Actions

Each policy row has action icons in the Actions column. Administrators can:

  • Edit the policy to update its title, content, applicability, or settings
  • Set Applicability to define or update which employees the policy applies to
  • Publish or Unpublish the policy to control employee visibility
  • Download the policy file that was uploaded
  • Delete the policy permanently
  • View Acknowledgements to open the acknowledgement tracking screen and see which employees have acknowledged the policy. This icon appears only for policies where acknowledgement has been enabled.

Bulk Actions

To perform an action on multiple policies at once, select the policies using the checkboxes and use the Actions dropdown at the top right of the list to publish, unpublish, or delete them together.

Search and Filter

Use the Search bar to quickly locate a specific policy by name. Use the count badges at the top to filter the list by All, Published, or Unpublished policies.

Note: Changes made to a policy are reflected immediately in the list. Published policies are visible to employees at Main Panel → Policies and on the HRStop mobile app.
