| Interval | Specifies how often the checkpoint frequency that you want to set. You can select one of three options: daily, weekly, or monthly. |
| Total checkpoints | Specifies the total number of checkpoints that you want to set. |
| Retention time | Specifies retention span. Time for which the checkpoint should be retained. |
| Checkpoints | Specifies whether the checkpoints are Removable or Non-removable. By default, checkpoint will be removable. |
| Mode | Specifies the mode of the file system. While configuring SecureFS on an existing file system, the mode cannot be switched to compliance mode (Compliance mode refers to softworm) if the file system has WORM enabled. |
| On the other hand, if the WORM (WORM refers to Enterprise mode) is not enabled, the configuration process automatically converts the file system to enterprise mode. | |
| Compliance mode is a default mode however, you can change the mode later if required. | |
| Audit log | Specifies the logging of certain event to persistent storage. You can choose to enable or disable it. By default, it will be enabled. Once enabled it cannot be disabled. |
| Create Policy | Specifies WORM policy creation. You can configure policy to mark files as WORM while creating SecureFS. |
| Interval | Specifies the Interval for the policy. |
| Rule Name | Specifies the name of the rule that you are going to create. |
| Pattern | Specifies the pattern of the file name, which can be an exact file name or a pattern that includes a single wildcard character. |
| Directory | Specifies a full path name relative to the file system mount point where the file system is mounted. You can select recursive or non-recursive. |
| Users | Specifies username of the file's owner. The user number cannot be specified in place of the name. |
| User groups | Specifies group name of the file's owner. The group number cannot be specified in place of the group name. |
| Retention | Specifies the retention unit in days, months, and years. |
| Access age | This criterion is met when files are inactive for a designated period or during a designated period relative to the time at which the policy enforced. |
| Modification age | This criterion is met when files are unmodified for a designated period or during a designated period relative to the time at which the policy enforced. |
| Size | This criterion is met when files exceed or drop below a designated size or fall within a designated size range. |
| IO temperature | This criterion is met when files exceed or drop below a designated I/O temperature or fall within a designated I/O temperature range. |
| Access temperature | This criterion is met when files exceed or drop below a specified average access temperature or fall within a specified access temperature range. A file's access temperature is similar to its I/O temperature, except that access temperature is computed using the number of I/O requests to the file, rather than the number of bytes transferred. |
