By default, all policies, except real-time policies, are evaluated at 12:00 A.M. every night. You can schedule policies to be evaluated more frequently for proof-of-concept (POC) setups. Note that a schedule that is too aggressive can put excessive load on the Indexer.

You can set a custom schedule to evaluate policies from the Settings tab. The schedule must be specified in the cron format.

Click Settings > Data Insight Servers.
Click the entry for the Management Server.
On the page for the Management Server node, click Advanced Settings.

In the Property name field, enter job.PolicyJob.cron.

To evaluate values every N minutes, specify value as 0 0/N * * * ? *.	For example, to evaluate policies every 10 minutes, specify value as 0 0/10 * * * ? *.
