About the Decision Box action
A Decision Box action presents two options to the user. These options are presented as link
text, preceded by images.
A Decision Box action can be useful after a client fails an endpoint security check, or after a
user fails to authenticate. When this occurs, a branch rule can provide an option to allow the
user to continue onto a guest or quarantine network that provides only limited access to a
segregated subnet. The other branch can provide an option to log out, and present the user with a
logon denied ending.
Configuring a decision box to appear after a failed endpoint security check (with decision
box detail)

Another use of the Option 2 branch is to allow the user to continue to a redirect ending that
takes the user to a helpful URL, for example, to the web site of an antivirus vendor to download
virus database updates.
