Hello there.
It is recommended to apply a group profile to all rules that are allowed (no need to do it for drop/discard policies)
I would recommend you name the group to be called "default", so that when you create new policies, the FW will automatically associate that "default" group profile into your new rule. May not save too much time, but a few seconds is good. 😛
The FW is intelligent to scan what is in scope and ignore what is not needed.
