General tab

The General tab lists all file property classifiers.

  • The Type column indicates whether the classifier is predefined or user-defined.
  • The Classifier Type indicates whether this is a file name, file type, or file size classifier (see File properties section).
    • File-type classifiers identify a single kind of file (like Microsoft Word File) or a group of similar kinds of files (like Various Archive Formats), based on the file’s magic number (an internal identifier).
    • File-name classifiers identify files by file-name extension (such as *.docx) or the file name itself (such as myfile*.doc).
    • File-size classifiers identify files by their size. Select the classifier to add to the policy’s rule.

Sort or filter columns to help you locate a specific classifier.
