- In one of the lists of assets (i.e., No Status, Normal, Warning, or Alert), select an asset name.

The Policies section appears. The number on the Policies tab represents the number of policy instances associated with the selected asset. The boxes below the tab summarize whether these policy instances are active or inactive.

The grid provides information about each policy instance associated with the selected asset. The grid contains the following columns:
- Instance ID : Contains the name of a policy instance and an icon to show whether the instance is active () or inactive ().
- Policy : Contains the name of the policy that includes the policy instance, and an icon to show whether the policy is active () or inactive (). You can select a policy name to open it in Policy Designer.
- Last Execution : Contains the date and time of the last time that the policy instance was executed, and a summary of that execution.
Note: By default, rows are sorted by the Last Execution column, with the most recent execution at the top.

In Asset Health Manager, access the policy instance information for the asset whose related policy instance(s) you want to activate or deactivate.
Select the check box in the row for each policy instance that you want to activate or deactivate.

Note: You can select the check box in the grid heading to select all of the policy instances.
Above the grid, select to activate the selected policy instances.

Note: If a policy instance is not fully configured (indicated by the red ), it will not be activated.

If you activated a policy instance, the instance will be executed according to the policy's execution settings.

Note: The corresponding policy must also be active in order for a policy instance to be executed. You can activate policies from Policy Designer.
If you deactivated a policy instance, the instance will not be executed.
