Configuring File Labeling

This section describes the configuration settings for file labeling.

In the File Labeling section on the Microsoft Information Protection Properties page, you can apply labels by selecting the Apply file labels check box, and click OK to save the changes.

When you select the check box, the DLP action plans that use the Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) file labels are defined. When the check box is cleared, the MIP file labels are used only for detection.

Note: The system applies the MIP labels to a file only if the label is a higher priority than the existing label.

The audit log (Main > Logs > Audit Log) is updated when the administrator imports classification labels and when Apply file labels is either selected or cleared.

After the Apply file labels check box has been selected, administrators can configure the specific labels to use on the Discovery tab of each action plan. See Action Plans section.

If any action plans include labels that no longer exist in the labeling system, a warning is displayed, with a Show details link, leading to a list of action plans with labels that are no longer in the labeling system. Forcepoint recommends updating these action plans. See Forcepoint Data Discovery options section.
