Configuration reference

Use this reference when filling out the Create Policy Template or Edit form, or when working with policy templates via the GraphQL API. The table maps each UI label to its underlying field name, describes what it controls, and lists any constraints or valid values.

For step-by-step instructions on using these fields, refer to Manage policy templates.

The following table describes the fields available when creating or managing a policy template.

Field	UI Label	Description	Required	Constraints
name	Template Name	Display name for the template	Yes	Must be unique per account.
description	Description	Free-text description of the template's purpose	No	—
rules	Policy Rules	One or more policy rules selected from existing rules in the account	Yes	At least one rule required. Rules must already exist in the account.
appliedWhen	Execution Timing	Controls when the rule runs relative to standard policies	Yes per rule	UI options: Before Request And Before Standard Policies, Before Request And After Standard Policies, After Response and Before Standard Policies, After Response and After Standard Policies. Changing this overrides the rule's individual timing setting.
version	Version	Auto-incremented number tracking the template revision	Auto-assigned	Starts at 1.0. Increments on each edit when the template is assigned to one or more APIs.
templateCorrelationId	—	Stable identifier shared across all versions of a template	Auto-assigned	Read-only. Links all version records back to the same original template. Used in GraphQL queries.
path	—	The API deployment path at which the template is applied	Yes at assignment	Must be a valid URL path. Example: /api/v1/*.

The Policy Rules table on the Create and Edit forms also displays the following read-only columns for each available rule:

Column	Description
Policy Name	The name of the policy rule.
Execution Timing	Dropdown — set per rule when adding to the template.
Methods	HTTP methods the rule applies to (for example, GET, POST).
Type	The rule implementation type (for example, groovy).
Configuration	The rule's JSON configuration object.
