## Symptoms

- The following warnings appear during policy verification / installation:

```

Empty Field in Address Translation Rule N
Empty Address Translation Rule N
```

## Cause

Possible reasons:

* The problematic NAT rule contains an empty object either in Source column, or in Destination column.  

* The problematic NAT rule contains an "Any" object in both Source column and in Destination column.

## Solution

Follow these steps in SmartDashboard:

1. Find the problematic NAT rule.   

2. Check that neither the Source column, nor the Destination column contains an empty object (e.g., Group object that does not contain any objects inside).   

3. Delete the NAT rule that contains an "Any" object in both Source column and in Destination column (need to configure specific NAT rule that contains a specific object either in Source column, or in Destination column).   

4. Save the changes: go to '`File`' menu - click on '`Save`'.   

5. Go to '`Policy`' menu - click on '`Verify...`'.   

6. If policy verification was successful, then install the policy ('`Policy`' menu - click on '`Install...`').
