You can create a new data policy to define data rules for a table.

## About this task

Create data policies to enforce consistency. You can create data policies only for
tables and database views that are in the same scope as the data policy and for
other tables that have at least one field in the same scope as the data policy. For
tables that are in a different scope from the data policy record, you can create
data policy rules only for fields in the same scope as the data policy and you
cannot make a field mandatory.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to Data Policies by completing one of the following actions.
   * Navigate to System PolicyRulesData Policies.
   * From any form header, right-click the header bar and select ConfigureData Policies.
   * In List v2, open any column context menu and select ConfigureData Policies.
   * In List v3, open the list title menu and select ConfigureData Policies.

2. Click New.

4. Create the condition that must exist for the platform to apply this policy.  
   For example, your conditions might include \[Problem state\] \[is\] \[Closed/Resolved\]
5. Right-click the header and select Save.  
   The Data Policy Rules related list appears.
6. Click New in the related list and create the record that identifies the field and the policy to apply.  

   It is possible to have multiple rules on a single field, but it is not
   recommended.
7. Click Submit.  
8. **Optional:** Add more rules by repeating steps 6 and 7.
