Navigate to the sidebar menu: [Deployments](docId\:h62CnWLZ1OyHnHPKL5AS9) > [Cloud Box](docId\:e_tXauKillzZbEpbgeI_h)  and ensure you are on the **Policy Mapping** tab.
:::

## Overview

The **Policy Mapping** section allows you to **link** a specific **policy** with one or more elements on your internal network. You decide which network element to link to a specific policy, and the system automatically links it without accessing the **virtual machine**. This dashboard **provides** a clear view of all your **mapping rules**, allowing you to apply **granular protection** standards across different local segments based on sources, elements, or objects.

Objects represent the network elements, they are not limited strictly to IP addresses but **define** the **specific type** of source making the request.

## Top Navigation Tools

At the top of the mapping page, you will find the **primary tools** for interacting with your **configuration list**:

| ### Interface Element                               | ### Focus & Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       |
| --------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Search**                                          | Located at the top left. Use this tool to perform a **search** directly on the **IP addresses** column.                                                                                                                                                       |
| **Filters**                                         | Button positioned next to the search bar to filter the visible results. You can **apply** **filters** based on three criteria: <br />* **By type** such as: **static IPs**, **static** **CIDRs**, and **static ranges.**
* **By Cloud Box**.
* **By policy**. |
| <font color="#2563eb">`+ Add policy mapping`</font> | The blue button at the top right. Click here to **create** a new **mapping rule**. Click here to add a new policy mapping: [New Policy Mapping](docId:5UlAYWhwyAEIAG5MweaG1)                                                                                  |

## Policy Mapping List Details

The main grid displays the specific **details** for every **mapping rule** configured in your **system**:

| ### Interface Element    | ### Focus & Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |

| **Type**                 | Indicates the **object type**.                                                                                                                                                                                                                           |
| **IP Address**           | The **specific IP** address or **range targeted** by this mapping rule.                                                                                                                                                                                  |
| **Selected Cloud Boxes** | Displays the list of **Cloud Boxes** **linked** to the **rule**. You can **unlink** a Cloud Box to eliminate the **mapping**.                                                                                                                            |
| **Associated policy**    | Indicates the exact **policy linked** to the specified **network elements**.                                                                                                                                                                             |
| **Actions**              | Click the pencil icon to **edit** the **configuration**, where you can **associate** or **disassociate** multiple **Cloud Boxes.** To delete the mapping, you must first **disassociate** all linked Cloud Boxes, then **click** the **trash bin icon**. |

## Initialize Creation

To register a **new mapping rule** for your local elements, click the blue <font color="#2563eb">`+ Add policy mapping` </font>button located in the top right corner. A configuration panel will open.
