To ensure that the information on usage and spending is accurate, Unassigned Resources policies identify resources that do not belong to an assignment group. For such resources, the policy can auto-assign an assignment group to a resource, require a member of the assignment group to approve the assignment, or add the resource to a report and take no further action.

1. Navigate to Cloud Insights > Cost Optimization > Unassigned Resources.
2. Click the Policies tab.
3. Optional: Click the List view icon () to review policies to decide on a unique Run order value for the policy.

   The run order specifies the order in which to apply the policies to the usage data. Each policy must have a unique value.

   Important: While policies are being applied: The actions for the first policy that a resource matches are performed. After that, no other policy is applied to the resource.
4. Click New or edit an existing policy by clicking a policy card or a policy name in the list.
5. On the Set Policy Properties tab, configure the criteria that determine which resources match the policy.

   Table 1. Fields in the General section

   Field	Value
   Active	The option to apply the policy. Select the Active check box to execute Unassigned Resources analysis whenever billing data is updated.
   Policy name / Description	A unique and descriptive name and description for the policy.
   Run order	The order in which to apply policies. Each policy must have a unique value. The system applies policies in low-to-high run order and performs the actions for the fist policy that matches. After a match, no other policy is applied to the resource. Important: The system applies two batches of policies in the precedence order that you specify: Policies created by Admins and policies created by Insights Owners. See the Precedence setting in Configure Business Hours operations. Note: Run order values for Unassigned Resources policies and Business Hours policies do not interfere with each other.

   A resource matches the policy if all criteria in the Service Account and Resource Criteria section are met.

   Table 2. Fields in the Service Account and Resource Criteria section

   A resource matches the policy if all criteria in the Service Account and Resource Criteria section are met.
   Field	Value
   Provider	The cloud provider to apply the policy to. Note: You cannot change the provider while editing a policy.
   Service accounts	The service accounts to apply the policy to. Move the required service accounts to the Selected list. Select one or more service accounts.
   [Conditions]	The conditions (combinations of tag values) that define which resources match the policy. The available values come from the Key Value [cmdb_key_values] table. A resource matches the policy if the criteria on the Set Policy Criteria page are met. The following example has two conditions. The first condition consists of two required subconditions.

6. Click Next to move to the Set Actions page and fill in the form.

   Table 3. Fields on the Set Actions page

   Field	Value
   Approval type	The actions to take on resources that match the policy. Auto-approval (Standard Change): Generate a recommendation to assign the specified assignment group and add the resource to Unassigned Resources reports. Generate and auto-approve a change request for a member of the assignment group. Manual approval (Normal Change): Generate a recommendation to assign the specified assignment group and add the resource to Unassigned Resources reports. When the policy is saved, generate a change request for members of the assignment group. Any member of the group with the ITIL role can approve the change. When a change is approved, the system assigns the resource to the specified assignment group. Report-only: Generate a recommendation to assign the specified assignment group and add the resource to assignment group reports. Perform no other action.
   Assignment group / Assigned to	Settings to apply to resources that match the policy. Assignment group: Group that is assigned to the resource. Important: For resources that meet the criteria for this policy, the Approval type action auto-assigns the Assignment group setting to the resource. Assigned to: User that is assigned to the resource.
   Change template	Auto-approval (Standard Change) approval type only: Specify the change request template (Standard Change type) to use when sending change requests for Unassigned Resources recommendations. If no template appears in the list, you must create one. See Create a change request template.
