# Managing Conditions

### Creating a Condition

**Note:** You can create a Condition in the Policies Workspace (formerly Authorization Workspace), or in the WHEN step of the Policy Wizard when you create or edit a Policy. The Platform shows the same Condition types in both places.

#### To Create a Condition:

1. Select the relevant **Policies Workspace**.
2. Click the **Assets & Conditions** tab.
3. In the **Conditions** section, click **New Conditions**. The Platform opens the New Condition screen.
4. Enter a **Name** for the new Condition. Use a name that tells others what the Condition is for.
5. Enter a **Description** for the Condition (optional).
6. Choose whether the Condition applies to the **Dynamic Authorization Service** or to a specific **Application**.
7. Select the **Type** of Condition. The types you can choose from depend on what you selected in the previous step. For details, see [Available Condition Types](/docs/managing-conditions#available-condition-types).
8. In the **Define Condition Rules** section, enter the required information (see below).
9. Click **Create**. The Platform creates the Condition, opens the **Condition Details** screen, and adds the Condition to the Conditions area of the Policies Workspace.

### Available Condition Types

Preproduction Feature

Note that this is a preproduction feature that is available only to preproduction Tenants

Your selection in step 6 determines which Condition types the Platform shows.

- **Dynamic Authorization Service:** The Platform shows the predefined Condition types, which are Date & Time, IP, Identity Attribute, and Request Attribute.
- **Applications with Generic Condition Templates:** The Platform shows the Condition types defined by the templates associated with that Application. Zscaler currently supports Generic Condition Templates. For more information, see [Mapping Zscaler Conditions](/v1/docs/mapping-zscaler-conditions-1).
- **Applications without Generic Condition Templates:** The Platform shows the predefined Condition types. This applies to Homegrown Applications and to Snowflake, Databricks, Microsoft Power BI, and Google BigQuery.

**Note:** The Policy Builder in the AI Workspace always shows the predefined Condition types.

### About Date & Time Conditions

When defining a Date & Time Condition, you can specify the following options:

- **Months:** Options include **All**, a single month, or any combination of specific months of the year.
- **Days:** Options include **All**, a single day, or any combination of specific days of the week.
- **Time:** Options include **All Day** (24 hours), or you can deselect **All Day** and specify a start and end time, along with the appropriate time zone.
- **Starting Date/Ending Date:** You can specify a start and end date for when the Condition is active, or just a start date or end date.

You can use the **OR** option to specify another Time & Date range, creating a more complex rule.

### About IP Conditions

When defining an IP Condition, you can specify the following options:

1. **Access Type:** Options are Allow or Restrict.
2. **IP Range:** Specify a valid CIDR IP range.

### About Identity Attribute Conditions

When defining an Identity Attribute Condition, you can specify one or more rules:

1. Select an Identity Attribute from the drop-down list. The **Type** field (Numeric or String) is populated automatically.
2. Select the appropriate operator: **Equals**, **Not Equals**, **Greater than**, **Less than**, **In**, or **Not In**.
3. Enter a value.
4. To add another rule, click **And** or **OR** and define the elements of the rule again.

*This Condition can also be used in SaaS Applications like [Snowflake](/v1/docs/snowflake-1) and [Databricks](/v1/docs/databricks).*

### About Request Attribute Conditions

When defining a Request Attribute Condition, you can specify one or more rules. A Request Attribute is an external parameter sent through the Request that factors into the Policy at run time:

1. Select a **Request Attribute** from the drop-down list.
2. Configure the **Type** field (Numeric or String) of the Attribute value.
3. Select the appropriate operator: **Equals**, **Not Equals**, **Greater than**, or **Less than**.
4. Enter a value.
5. To add another rule, click **And** or **OR** and define the rule elements again.
