Defining and managing lists

Lists contain endpoint properties and related values, for example, a list of domain user names or a list of DNS names, or of processes that you want to prohibit on your network. Each List is associated with a single endpoint property and can contain multiple related values. Manually create lists here or create lists based on Inventory detections and policy detections. You can use Lists of property values when defining policies.

Using lists speeds up and streamlines the policy creation and endpoint management process.

For example, create an Unauthorized Processes Running list and use that list in a policy with the Kill Process action on endpoints that are running the process.

You can use this option for any property that consists of free text and for the Device Information > Open Ports property. Other properties, for example, installed software, peer-to-peer applications or properties indicating endpoint manageability, cannot be included in lists.

Note: The Corporate/Guest Control template automatically generates a list of corporate domains.

The following options are available for creating property lists:

Working with Lists.
Modify Lists Based on Endpoint Detections.
Create lists from properties discovered via the Asset Inventory and policies. See Create Lists Based on Inventory Detections and Add Endpoint Properties to a List for details.

You may have generated lists based on Inventory detections. Select Only Show Inventory Lists in the Lists pane to display only those lists. See Working with Asset Inventory Detection for details.
