=== Create an empty Policy Model `MyFirstPolicyModel`

Since an organisation like _HyperM_ may have many policies covering many different domains, policies should be grouped into policy sets. In order to edit or deploy a policy, or policy set, the definition of the policy(ies) and all required events, tasks, states, etc., are grouped together into a 'Policy Model'. An organization might define many Policy Models, each containing a different set of policies.

So the first step is to create an empty Policy Model called `MyFirstPolicyModel`. Using the APEX Policy Editor, click on the 'File' menus and select 'New'. Then define our new policy model called `MyFirstPolicyModel`. Use the 'Generate UUID' button to create a new unique ID for the policy model, and fill in a description for the policy model. Press the `Submit` button to save your changes.
