Cloud Burst Policies

A cloud burst policy comprises the rules that determine when jobs can burst into the cloud. A policy must have at least one priority selected and can only be associated with one business unit. If a user is not included in a cloud policy, burst policy is disabled. If the cloud is not on, then the cloud options are hidden and all Touchstone jobs are run on local servers.
