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.

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.
