User Data Policies

Like other Custom Objects, the User Object can contain Data policies, which include the basic principles:

Choose from Action- or Calendar-based Triggering Actions
Select Activation Sequence (to invoke the Data Policy before or after the Triggering Action (Pre- or Post-)
Actions to take when the policy criteria are met

Some elements differ in the User object, however:

Type of Triggering Criteria
Actions specific to the User Object that are not available in Custom Objects
Additional fields included in the User Object, which can be used along with the Java APIs

Considerations
