Adding or editing a file label

Use the Main > Policy Management > Content Classifiers > File Labeling > File Labeling Properties page in the Data Security module of the Forcepoint Security Manager to view or edit file labeling classifiers.

Use one of the following methods to access the File Labeling Properties page:

  • To add a new file labeling classifier, click New in the toolbar at the top of the content pane on the File Labeling page.
  • To update an existing file labeling classifier, click an existing file labeling classifier name in the list on the File labeling page.

A File Labeling Properties page appears.

To define or edit a file labeling classifier:

  1. Enter or update the Name and Description for the classifier.
  2. Use the Labeling system drop-down list to select the labeling system to use:
    • If you select Microsoft Information Protection or Boldon James Classifier, the File Labels section displays.

      Use the arrows to move labels between the All Labels and Detected Labels panes.

      In the All Labels list, mark the labels you want to detect and click the right arrow to move labels into the Detected Labels list. The classifier is triggered if at least one of the Detected Labels is found on the file.

      All Labels tables display the label status in the Label Status column:

      • Active: Indicates the labels can be used for labeling by the labeling system.
      • Deleted: Indicates that labels were removed from the labeling system.
      • Obsolete: Indicates that Forcepoint DLP can apply labels for a legacy system that still uses these labels. (Only for Boldon James Classifier).
    • If you choose Any Labeling System, the Detected Labels section is displayed.
      • In the Label field, enter the labels as free text, then click Add to add labels to the classifier. You can add multiple labels to the field. The classifier is triggered if at least one of the Detected Labels is found in the file.

        Mark the check box The detected labels are case-sensitive to indicate that labels are case-sensitive. By default, the labels are case-insensitive.

      • Mark labels and click Remove to remove selected labels from the list.
  3. Click OK to save the changes.
