(Optional) If you have specified more than one condition, you must specify whether one or all of the conditions must be fulfilled by enabling the appropriate option:
-
All conditions must be fulfilled: The next time the attestation policy is run, new attestation cases are added for all objects fulfilling all of the conditions. If one of the objects to attest does not fulfill a condition, this object is not attested. In addition, use of this option generates a intersecting set of all the individual conditions of the selected objects.
-
At least one condition must be fulfilled: The next time the attestation policy is run, new attestation cases are added for all objects that fulfill at least one of the conditions. Use of this option generates a superset of all the individual conditions of the selected objects.
