An administrator has configured a Catalog UI Policy with a Catalog UI Policy Action. However, the action is not taking effect when the dependent variable changes value. What is a common troubleshooting step for Catalog UI Policies?

A.Clear the browser cache and restart the instance JVM
B.Convert the UI Policy into a Business Rule
C.Change the UI Policy execution order to zero
D.Verify that 'Applies on Target' (such as Service Portal or Catalog Item) is correctly checked on the UI Policy definition

Catalog UI Policies must have the appropriate checkboxes enabled for where they should execute (e.g., Catalog Item, Service Portal, or both).

Why this answer

Ensure 'Global' is checked if legacy behavior is expected, or check 'Applies on a Target' (Service Portal vs Desktop). More importantly, UI policy actions depend on matching container or variable set context and correct execution order. Another key check is verifying 'Applies on Catalog Item' or 'Applies on Target'.

An administrator wants to ensure that a specific variable set cannot be modified by junior catalog administrators on individual items where it is applied. How is this restriction typically managed?

A.By writing an enterprise-wide Business Rule on the Item table.
B.By applying Access Control Lists (ACLs) specifically to the sc_item_option table.
