QAnywhere clients use policies to determine when to perform a message transmission. Policies include:

• Scheduled policy
• Automatic policy
• On demand policy
• Custom policy

The scheduled policy initiates message transmission at a specified time interval. The automatic policy initiates a message transmission whenever a message to or from the client is ready for delivery. The on demand policy permits the user to control message transmission. The custom policy uses transmission rules to add further control over message transmission.
