Data policy fields
These fields appear on the Data Policy form and related forms.

| Application | Application that contains this data policy. |
| Inherit | If selected, applies this data policy to tables that extend the specified table. For example, incident, problem, and change tables all extend the task table, therefore selecting Inherit on a data policy defined for task would apply the data policy to them as well. |
