Content classifier menu bar

When working with most content classifiers, the toolbar at the top of the content pane offers the following options:

Button Description
New Opens a dialog so you can create a new classifier of the selected type.
Delete

Deletes the selected classifier. Be sure to check where the classifier’s used before deleting it. (See Where Used, below.)

Note:You can delete only one classifier at a time. If you’re deleting a fingerprint classifier and the crawler is unresponsive, you’re asked to delete the classifier manually. (See Manually deleting fingerprinting classifiers section for instructions.)

Create Rule from Classifier

Creates a rule from the selected classifier and lets you mark it for use in an existing or new policy.

Note: You can create a rule from only one classifier at a time.

See Creating a rule from a content classifier section for more details on this shortcut.

Where Used Shows which policies, rules, and exceptions use this classifier.

The fingerprinting and machine learning classifiers have additional menu options.

Button Description
Start Begins the fingerprinting or machine learning scan. Alerts that the task will be moved into manual mode.
Pause Fingerprinting only. Pauses the scan.
Stop Stops the fingerprinting or machine learning scan. Alerts that the task will resume at the next scheduled time or the next time it is run manually.
More Actions

In addition to Create Rule from Classifier and Where Used, fingerprinting and machine learning classifiers offer a reporting option under More Actions:

Download Fingerprinting Report - Database fingerprinting only. Downloads a detailed report on fingerprinting activities.

Download Machine Learning Report - Machine learning classifiers only. Downloads a detailed report on machine learning processes.

Using this report, you can:

  • Understand the expected accuracy of the classifier (percentage of misclassified files). You can decide how to use the classifier or adjust the sensitivity as needed in the Details pane.
  • Discover documents that were found when processing the positive examples folders but did not appear to belong there. Learn the accuracy of the classifier with and without these documents. Use the Details pane to indicate whether or not to ignore inconsistent examples.

In addition, the fingerprinting and machine learning classifiers offer a Details pane on the right to show statistics about the scan and scheduler. See Details pane section.
