CLASSIFIER ADMINISTRATION SERVER GUIDE


This Classifier Administration Guide (PDF) and on-line Help provides reference for Classifier
administrators planning to use Classifier Administration. It assumes knowledge of the terminology
defined in Suite Overview.
Note: In your environment you may already use the term Classification to refer to the value(s)
selected to classify an item. Throughout Classifier documentation the term Label is used for this
purpose, Classification is sometimes used in examples as the name of the first Selector.
The Classifier Administration Server Guide describes all the features available through the Classifier
Administration web interface. The Classifier Documentation topic lists the other Classifier documents
and summarises their contents.
Many topics include a reference at the head of the topic to the Classifier Administration Server
location that relates to that topic. The references are of the form
Admin : Labelling Configurations {configuration} Policies {policy}/[Set
Selectors]/{selector}->Properties
 indicates a sub-node in the tree in the left-hand pane.
/ indicates a choice from the central pane.
{item} indicates a site defined item to be selected.
[tab] indicates a Tab in the central pane to be selected.
-> indicates select the action (sometimes from a context menu).
Throughout this document, the instructions direct you to select a particular Classifier Administration
action from the Actions Pane.
A list of actions is presented at the top of the Actions Pane relevant to the item selected in the
left-hand pane: for example, Marking Library - Add a new marking format .

In addition, a list of actions is presented at the bottom of the Actions Pane relevant to the item
selected in the middle pane. Summary Marking - Properties, Copy and Delete in the
example below.

Summary Marking.

Classifier Administration Server lets administrators:


 Define the Classifier Configuration.
 Publish Configuration, including the Policies based on that Configuration, to groups of users.
 Define SMTP domain clearances.

p9
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

If you are new to Classifier, it is recommended that you read the Classifier Getting Started Guide.
Environment requirements are defined in Release Notes. Environment deployment options are defined in
the Classifier Evaluation Guides.
Note: Classifier Administration's target environment assumes screen resolutions of 1280 * 800 or
better. The application can run at smaller resolutions, but some operational issues may be encountered,
particularly using minimal screen sizes. For example, running Classifier Administration in Windows Safe
Mode can result in a screen resolution of 640x480. The interface will be mostly useable, but exceptions
such as Buttons at the bottom of some dialogs (Rules Wizard, Clearance Wizards) are hidden behind the
taskbar (Window s 7). Auto hiding the taskbar may help in this circumstance.

The document provides various general information:


 Classifier Documentation
 Common Label Handling Features
 Common Label Interface Actions

and then describes the Classifier Administration interface:

 Classifier Administration
 Settings applicable across the organisation
o Global Settings
o Image Library
o User Message Library
o User Interface Library
 Labelling Configurations
o Selector Library
o Marking Library
o Content Library
o Configuration Settings
 Policies Configuration Settings
 Clearance Settings
 Email, OWA, Mail Add-in, Notes and Mobile Differences
 Configuration deployment
 Software deployment

The various topics provide details of which Classifier applications support which features.
Note: Actual default values depend on the Configuration Template used to establish your configuration.
Where this document defines default settings, it assumes the ‘Empty’ Configuration Template has been
used.

Classifier Documentation
The following documents can (mostly) be found under the Classifier Administration folder on the
Classifier Product Suite Base bundle.
Note: user specific documentation is not supplied with any of the Classifier client side products. Instead
Email, Office, OWA and Notes Classifier support the ability to invoke URL links to an organisation defined
w ebsite, intranet or similar to provide guidance relating to their own labelling terminology. This is
implemented through Classifier Configuration.

COMMON LABEL HANDLING FEATURES


This section describes label handling features (e.g. support for label propagation between Classifier
products) that are common to the various applications (Email Classifier, Office Classifier, OWA, Notes
and Mobile Classifier), and usually available if a Classifier product (e.g. Microsoft Excel, Pow erPoint,
Project, Visio, Word, Outlook, OW A, Mail Add-in, Mobile or Lotus Notes) is installed and enabled. Any
application specific variance or licence dependence is highlighted in each topic.
These features are:

 Label Propagation
 Printable Labels
 Recognition of Received Label values
 Mandatory Selectors
 Default Label Values
 Insert Marking as Field Code (Word only)
 Document Properties (Office Classifier)
 Message Properties (Email, OWA, Mail Add-in, Notes and Mobile)
 Use of Templates (Office Classifier and Outlook)

p12
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Label Propagation
Classifier product architecture defines how products will operate to ensure that label information applied
under one Classifier application can be recognised and processed by another Classifier application, or
indeed a suitable third party application.
Office Classifier stores label information in the properties of a document allowing other Classifier
applications to process the object according to the rules defined by the site.
Email Classifier, OWA, Notes and Mobile Classifier store label information in custom properties of a
message allowing other Classifier applications to process the object according to the rules defined by
the site.
Label Propagation includes the following configurable features:

 Use label values in templates as the initial label values for any derived item (see Use of Templates).
 Recognise and use label values from a received message as the initial label value for any reply or
forward of that received message.

 The ability in Email, OWA and Notes Classifier to ensure that the label associated with the email
message ‘dominate’s all labels associated with any Classifier labelled attachments (documents or
messages; or for emails only - Portion Mark). This usage is described further in the section Check for
the high-water mark.
Note: Further details of how one Classifier application handles label values assigned by another
Classifier application can be found in the section Appendix - Label Propagation Mechanisms .
Note: Saving a document as another type (e.g. Word --> TXT or EXCEL --> CSV prompts that
information will be lost. The Classifier label information is one of the casualties of such operations.

p13
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Printable Labels
Office Classifier allows label values to be stored as markings in a variety of document locations that
w ill appear when printed including:

 Header
 Footer
 Watermark (Word only)
 Field codes (W ord only)
 Portion Mark (Word, Pow erPoint and Excel)
Email, OWA, Mail Add-in, Notes and Mobile Classifier allow markings to be assigned to content
and/or properties that are normally included in printed material:

 FLOT
 LLOT
 Start and/or end of Subject
 Portion Mark (Outlook only)
Note: Printing uses standard Outlook / OWA / Notes mechanisms. Therefore if the only label value on
an email message is an X-Header then any hardcopy of the email message will be effectively unlabelled.

Recognition of received Label values


If, when an existing document is opened, Office Classifier cannot find the 'Classifier label' in the
expected property, it checks the document for any recognisable label values in the defined Label
Locations (e.g. Document properties).
If, when an email or w eb email message is received, Email/ OWA / Mail Add-in / Notes Classifier
cannot find the 'Classifier label' in the expected custom property, it will then check the message for any
recognisable label values in the defined label locations (e.g. X-Header, FLOT and Subject).
If more than one label location is found containing a recognisable label value, then the configurable
relative precedence defined through Label Locations is used to determine the authoritative value to use.
The most significant value is then used as the document or message label value.
Note: Further details of how one Classifier application handles label values assigned by another
Classifier application can be found in Appendix - Label Propagation Mechanisms . This appendix also
covers files labelled by File or Power Classifier products.

Mandatory Selectors
Each Selector may be designated as Mandatory through application specific Check these mandatory
selectors rules as described in Check rules.
Mandatory selectors are indicated on the label selection interface by an asterisk ( *).
Display of the * can be inhibited using the Indicate mandatory selector check failures setting.

Default Label Values


Whenever a new document or email is created, Classifier must determine the initial value of the label.
This initial value will be blank for each label selector unless the Classifier policy in use specifies a
default value for that selector, in this case the default value will appear as the initial value.
Default values are defined as selector options in the policy, either using Selector Properties / Options , or

p14
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

for assisted labelling policies using Edit selector options.

Insert Marking Label as Field Code (Word only)


Note: If a Word document is opened via an Office Web App, all field codes will be presented as [Field]
rather than the actual value as would be presented when viewed using Microsoft Word.
A label value can be inserted as a field code in a Word document. It will use the Summary Marking
format. The feature is enabled/disabled using the Show 'Insert label' context menu setting.
This feature is designed for Administrators to create template documents with rich headers and footers
containing document label information.
To insert a field code:
 Select a Label Value for the document using the label drop down selectors.
 Navigate to where the field code should be inserted.
 On the context menu (right mouse button), click Insert Label. The label value is placed at
the location of the cursor as a field code value.

Document Properties (Office Classifier)


Note: This feature is only applicable to Office Classifier.
In Excel, PowerPoint, Project or Word, when a label has been selected, a number of private properties
relating to the Classifier label are stored in document properties.

Note: Visio does not support Custom Properties, and the Classifier Label value is held using a different
mechanism.
Note: Saving a document as another type (e.g. Word --> TXT or EXCEL --> CSV prompts to indicate
that information w ill be lost. The Classifier label information is one of the casualties of such operations.
Note: Saving as PDF: You can populate various standard document properties ( Title, Author,
Subject and Keywords) that will be propagated if you save an Office document as PDF. However,
Office applications do NOT propagate any custom properties to the PDF. In particular the
bjDocumentSecurityLabel is NOT propagated. Email, OW A and Notes Classifier will check defined
label locations for recognisable labels in standard PDF file properties for the Check for the high-water
mark and Add an attachment list rules.

The properties can be viewed using standard Office application actions. These vary across the
applications, and Office versions:

For Office (Excel, PowerPoint and Word) 2010:

 Click the Office button then choose Prepare and Properties. A task pane w ill display.
 On the task pane, click Document Properties then Advanced Properties. A dialog will
display with a number of tabs.
 Select the Custom Tab.
For Project 2010 or 2013:
 Select File / Info and then choose Project Information / Advanced Properties .
 Select the Custom Tab.
For other Office 2013 applications along w ith Office 2016, 2019 and 365:
 Select File / Info and then choose Properties.

p15
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

 Select the Custom Tab.

Document Properties
The private document properties maintained by Classifier are listed below . These properties should not
be modified by users or administrators:
Property Name Description
bjDocumentSecurityLabel The combined markings. Format is controlled by the Custom format
for 'Label Summary' custom document property
bjDocumentLabelXML XML format of the document Label.
bjDocumentLabelXML-0 Internal XML identifier
docIndexRef Unique document identifier.
bjFooterBothDocProperty Only if a Footer rule has been applied
bjHeaderBothDocProperty Only if a Header rule has been applied

Message Properties (Email, OWA, Mail Add-in, Notes and


Mobile)

Note: This topic is only applicable to Email, OW A, Mail Add-in, Notes and Mobile Classifier.
When a message is saved or sent, any label value selected is stored in a custom property. Any markings
defined by applicable rules are stored in the relevant locations. The values stored may be readily visible
if they are in a visible location (e.g. Subject), but others are not readily visible (e.g. x-headers).
The private properties maintained by the various Classifier mail applications should not be modified by
users or administrators, but are documented here for information purposes:
Property Name Description
(x-)bjprotectivemarking The Classifier encoded (SISL) label.
docIndexRef Unique document identifier (used for audit trail purposes).

Note: In a Lotus Notes environment: to cause the x-bjprotectivemarking to be transmitted across an


SMTP connection, bjprotectivemarking must be included in the Domino server list of x-headers to be
transmitted across that connection (the "x-" is automatically applied by Domino).

p16
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Use of Templates
Note: This feature is not supported by OWA Classifier, Mail Add-in, Mobile or Notes Classifier
The Office applications allow you to create template files that can be used as the basis for new
documents.
You can set Classifier label values on these templates. When you subsequently create a new file using a
labelled template, Classifier uses the template label as the initial label value, rather than using any
default label setting.
If the template has no Classifier label value set then the configured default label value (if any) will be
used.

COMMON LABEL INTERFACE ACTIONS


These mechanisms and actions relate to the interface presented to the user to select label values. They
are described under:

 Label Selection Interfaces (Selectors and Values presented)


o Ribbon examples
o Label Selection dialog
o Favourites
o Portion Mark
o Recently Used Labels and Portion Marks
o Single Click Operation
o Assisted Labelling Operation
o Tabs (defined via a policy)
o Mobile Classifier user interface

o Classifier Decision Tree

 Label Options (Clear, Default and Link to Site Defined Help)

 Folder View Labelling Operation


Text presented to the user can be configured in one of four ways:

 User Message Library - Messages displayed to users if Rules trigger. The product provides default
text.

 Marking Library - Markings that are applied to items (Messages, Documents etc.).

 User Interface Library - Text presented through standard dialogs. The product provides default text.

 Configuration of the names of Selectors, Selector Values and Alternative names using Selector
Library and Policy Label UI features.

Label Selection Interfaces


Note: There is a subtle distinction between an unlabelled document (where there is no Classifier Label
property), and a document that is labelled but has no selected values (where there is an empty
Classifier Label property). In either case, the Summary Marking presented to the user will be the text
configured via Text to display if no marking is available .
Classifier applications allow the user to select labels from Selectors and Values presented through the
Ribbon. The Selectors, Selector Values and associated options are defined in the Classifier policy
configured for the current user. Further details can be found under Policy Selector properties / Options .
Circumstances arise where the user needs to select a label value and the Ribbon is not available (e.g.

p17
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Mandatory Label value missing when sending a message). In such situations, Classifier applications will
present the selector choices in a Label Selection dialog.
If Masking of Selectors against Clearance is Enabled, then the list of values presented for each Selector
w ill be restricted by the user's clearance.
These basic label selection mechanisms may be extended by use of Portion Mark, Favourites,
Recently Used Labels and Portion Marks , Single Click operation, Assisted Labelling operation
and the definition of Tabs in a Policy.
Display selector values as buttons may be Enabled for single selection list selectors within the
policy (Single selection list options ). This will affect the presentation of the Ribbon, the Label Selection
dialog, Assisted Labelling operation and Tabs as described under those topics.

 Ribbon Examples
 Label Selection dialog
 Portion Mark
 Favourites
 Recently Used Labels and Portion Marks
 Single Click operation
 Assisted Labelling Operation
 Tabs (defined via a Policy)
 Mobile Classifier user interface

Ribbon Examples

This topic contains examples of label selection via the Ribbon.


Note: The examples below show the standard operation. This will be modified if you make use of the
Favourites, or Recently Used Labels and Portion Marks or Single Click operation or Assisted Labelling
operation, or Tabs features.
Label selection is presented along with the Label Options menu in the Classifier label item in the ribbon,
subject to the setting of Remove Classifier Options from the ribbon .
The placement of the Classifier label item w ithin the ribbon can be configured using the Classifier ribbon
group location setting.
Note: In some circumstances (e.g. Office 2013) the ribbon w ill not appear when a read only document is
opened until you choose Edit.
Note: For Outlook, you can use the Show Classifier on ribbon when reading to hide the Classifier Ribbon
entry when reading a message.

Outlook 2010 - Label Selection

p18
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

The dialog above show s the first (Single selection list) selector with Show value as set to Colour and
text and Display selector values as buttons option Enabled (Single selection list options ), the
second (Single selection list) selector has the option Disabled and that selector appears as a drop down
selection list. Note that items are displayed in columns and that the width of the 'column' is governed by
the widest element.
The selector captions (Classification and Department) appear in the ribbon. You can use the policy
property Show selector captions on the ribbon to change this effect.
The Favourites button in the examples above will only appear if Display of Favourites button is
Enabled (see Favourites for further details).
The Portion Mark button show n in the examples above will only appear if the option is Enabled for the
current application (see Portion Mark for further details).
Note: Favourites are not supported under OWA Classifier or the Mail Add-in.
Note: Portion Mark is not supported under OW A Classifier, Mail Add-in or Notes Classifier.
Ribbon handling
The Office ribbon places a limit on the number of items that can be placed inside a group on the ribbon.
If a single/multi selector contains many values and is configured to be show n as buttons (or checkboxes
in the case of multi-select selectors) then Classifier may not display the items on the ribbon, instead
the selector w ill need to be set via the label dialog. The limits are:

 If the policy contains at least one selector to be displayed as a button on the ribbon and no selectors
that are to be displayed as checkboxes on the ribbon, then Classifier can display up to 150 items in
the ribbon for the selector(s).

 If the policy contains at least one selector that is to be displayed as checkboxes on the ribbon and
no selectors that are to be displayed as buttons on the ribbon, then Classifier can display up to 150
items in the ribbon for the selector(s).

 If the policy contains at least one selector that is to be displayed as buttons on the ribbon and at
least one selector that is to be displayed as checkboxes on the ribbon, then w e allow up to 100
items to be displayed

Label Selection Dialog

In various situations the user will need to choose a label when the ribbon is unavailable. For example if
a check mandatory selectors rule detects that a mandatory selector has no value chosen.
In such situations, Classifier applications present the Classifier Label Selection dialog which will show
the selectors and values pertinent to the current user. This dialog is also used to choose values for
selectors that cannot be displayed in the ribbon. For example, more than three selectors or multiple
selection list selectors.
The dialog below shows the first (Single selection list) selector with Display selector values as
buttons option Enabled. The second (Single selection list) selector has the option Disabled and that
selector appears as a drop down selection list. Refer to Single selection list options for more
information.

p19
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Select Label - all selectors


Note: The example above displays the standard operation. This is modified if you make use of the
Favourites, or Recently Used Labels and Portion Marks or Single Click operation or Assisted Labelling
operation or Tabs features. The presentation is slightly different under OWA.

OWA
In an OWA environment, label selection and the standard label actions appear on an extended message
compose form.

Notes Classifier New message

Favourites

Note: This feature is not supported by OWA Classifier. Classifier Mail Add-in, Notes 8 and Mobile
Classifier.
Note: Availability of the Favourites button is controlled by the Display of Favourites button setting.
Users can use the Favourite Labels feature to remember their favourite label values (on that
w orkstation), and to choose the label value directly rather than choosing each selector value in turn.
The feature can be used alongside the Recently used Labels and Portion Marks features.
Access to the feature is via the Favourites drop dow n menu in the Classifier label ribbon bar with
availability controlled by Configuration Settings / General Settings / Display of Favourites button .
If the Recently Used feature is also enabled (Maximum number of labels to show > zero), then the
Favourites menu of actions w ill appear as:

Favourites - Office 2010 and Recently used


Note: The favourites and recently used values that appear in the menus are initially presented using the
marking format associated w ith the General Settings / Custom format for Summary Markings .
Favourites can subsequently be renamed as described below.
The user can:

 Add current label to favourites - it will then appear as a sub item in the menu.

 Organise Favourites - which shows icons allowing the user to manage the order in which the
Favourites appear, change the name presented for a Favourite, or delete entries from the list:

p22
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Organise Favourites.

 The Rename action is inline which makes it easier to replace the text presented in the favourites
list.

Rename Favourite.

 Set current label as default allows the user to set the current label as their own personal default
rather than using any policy defined default. This option is only available if User Selectable
Default Classification is Enabled in Properties (Policy).

 Select a Favourite label from the sub-list (e.g. Public Sales) - the label value then appears in the
main label selection display.

 Select a Recent label from the Recent sub-list (e.g. Public).

Portion Mark

Note: This feature is not available under OWA Classifier, Classifier Mail Add-in, Notes Classifier nor
Mobile Classifier, and is not applicable to Visio and Project.
A Portion Mark is usually an abbreviated marking derived from a label value. For example, [P] for
Public.
Availability of the feature is controlled by application specific options as described in Portion Marking.
If the feature is enabled, then Portion Mark appears in the Classifier label ribbon.

p23
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Portion Mark menu - Outlook 2010


If the Recently Used Labels and Portion Marks feature is enabled, then the recently used portion
mark (label values) will appear as a sub-list.
Note: The portion mark and recently used values that appear in the menus are presented using the
marking format associated w ith the General Settings / Custom format for Summary Markings .
The user can:

 Select a Recent Portion Mark from the sub-list.

 Choose Portion Mark... which will present the dialog below, allowing the user to select a specific
label, or choose a favourite label, or a recent portion mark subject to their availability:

Portion Marking - Favourites and recently used


Favourites will only appear if there are favourites stored.
Recently used values w ill only appear if the Display of Favourites button is Enabled. The number of
recently used portion marks that are remembered is governed by the Maximum number of labels to
show setting.

Recently Used Labels and Portion Marks

Note: This feature is not available under OWA Classifier nor Classifier Mail Add-in.
Note: The feature is unavailable unless Display of Favourites button is Enabled, as this is how
recently used labels are accessed.
Note: Recently used labels are displayed using the Custom format for Summary Markings .
These features are only enabled if Maximum number of labels to show is set greater than zero.
The Recently Used Portion Marks is only relevant if Portion Marking is Enabled in the application
(see Portion Marking).
Label values are only added to the list of 'Recently used labels' when a message is submitted or a
document is saved - selection of a label value does NOT update the list.
Recently used labels are available to the user under Favourites.
Recently used portion marks are available to the user under Portion Mark.

p24
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Single Click operation

Note: This mode of operation is only available if the current policy has Use Single Click with pre-defined
labels configured.
The administrator can use the Use Single Click with pre-defined labels feature to configure up to tw elve
separate buttons, each with its own Label value, Caption, Tooltip and Colour or Image that replace
the standard drop downs in the Classifier Label Ribbon. Single Click can be used in conjunction with
Assisted Labelling.
Note: The actual appearance shown below will be modified according to whether other features such as
Favourites or Recently Used Labels and Portion Marks are in use.
Note: The matrix of single click buttons displayed is affected by a windows re-size operation, so short
captions are advisable.
The user is presented with the buttons configured, and selects the associated label by clicking the
appropriate button (Pub / Sales or Conf / Board in the Outlook example below, or Non-Business etc. in
the OWA example).

Outlook Single Click operation

p25
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

OWA Single Click UI


The user still has the ability to select individual Selector values by clicking the Classifier label dialog box
launcher in Outlook, the Select Label button in OWA, to launch the general label selection dialog:

Label Selection dialog

Note: In Outlook, the dialog box launcher can be replaced by a button by enabling the Display of
Label Dialog launch button setting.
If single click is in use; and the label selection dialog needs to be presented (e.g. mandatory selector
missing when replying to an unlabelled message; and there is no default value defined; and the user
clicks Change on the No label Policy Check dialog), then an intermediate dialog may be presented
allowing a Single Click button to be clicked, or the full label selection dialog (above) to be invoked by
clicking the 'Current Marking' button (No Marking in the example below ).

p26
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Label Selection dialog - Single Click


The Continue button allow s you to proceed without selecting a label value. The dialog above is changed
slightly if Display of Label Dialog launch button is Enabled.

Assisted Labelling Operation

Note: These features are not supported by Mobile Classifier.


Assisted Labelling can be configured to guide user selection of label values by limiting the choices of
selectors and / or selector values depending upon the value chosen for a preceding selector.
Note: The actual appearance shown below will be modified according to whether other features such as
Favourites or Recently Used Labels and Portion Marks are in use.
The following show s a simple example of the user operation where selecting a value for the category
selector in the ribbon adds a second selector (Annotation) with the values of Annotation being tailored
according to the choice of Category.

Office Classifier
Initially the Classifier label shows only the category selector with no default value.

Initial state - no category selected


The actual presentation may vary if favourites or portion mark are configured to be available.
If Display selector values as buttons is Enabled (Single selection list options ), this dialog might
appear as:

Initial state - Display as buttons


Selecting Cat 3 will add the Annotation selector to the display and present the configured Annotation
values.

p27
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Cat 3 with Annotations


If there are more than three selectors or selector types that cannot be shown in the ribbon, then the
label selection button may appear as per the examples below depending upon space utilisation within
the window:

Select label (a)

Select label (b)

Select label (c)


More examples of the user experience can be found in the following, each of which describes the
configuration and user experience for a particular scenario:

 Example 1 - Categories with many Annotations

 Example 2 - An additional user choice if Category 2 is selected

 Example 3 - Separation of Personal and Corporate information


Label Selection dialog
The label selection dialog may sometimes be presented when assisted labelling is in use. The configured
selectors and values appear / are hidden in a similar manner to the ribbon operation. In the following
example the Fourth selector appears, but w ould be hidden if a different value were selected for the
Third selector.

p28
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Label Selection dialog - Assisted Labelling


The dialog will be populated with appropriate defaults.
OWA Classifier
Initially only the first selector is show n - in this example Classification:

OWA Assisted Labelling initial state


Selecting a value extend the label selection according to the configuration. In the example below,
selecting General Business has made Annotation available for selection.

p29
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

OWA Assisted Labelling General Business selected


Notes Classifier
Notes Classifier operates only in response to the Classify button, (there is no ribbon equivalent), and
for assisted labelling operations the Label selection dialog is always presented showing the relevant
configured values for each selector.

p30
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Classifier Decision Tree


The Decision Tree is an alternative way for the user to generate a label for an email or a
document.

It aims to reduce the need for the user to know details of what actual label to pick, and
instead presents a series of questions for them to describe the work that they are doing. For
example, it’s a personal email, it’s related to a proof of concept, research and development, a
purchase request for a new toaster, etc. By answering the questions posed a user is guided to
select the most appropriate label.

The Decision Tree is displayed in its own dialog on the client, invoked by the user selecting a
ribbon button or from within the Classifier Label Selection dialog. It is independent of the
other means of selecting a label. All methods – Single-Click, Label Dialog, Decision Tree – can
be configured to be available in a policy concurrently.

A Decision Tree is created by referencing Question and Answer items defined in a Question
Library.

A different Decision Tree may be defined for each configured Policy.

For more detailed information, see the Question Library.

To enable the Decision Tree, see Enable the Decision Tree Functionality.

To configure the Decision Tree, see Decision Tree Options.

Classifier Decision Tree Terminology

 Question – A question presented on the client dialog that offers a choice or requires some
input from the user, e.g. Is this a personal or business email?

 Answer – The choices available in response to the question, e.g. It’s a personal email.

 Label – a specific label, label(or part of a label) to be applied as a result of a user


choosing a specific action, e.g. It’s a personal email – the label is then set to “UNMARKED
EXTERNAL”.

 DT – Decision Tree.

 QL – Question Library.

p31
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Decision Making Process Example


This is a simple example configuration. The user is asked to select the department that will
own the document and what type of data the document contains. If a user chooses a
particular answer then a label can be set.

An example configuration of a Dec ision Tree.

p32
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

The data classification label questions follow the exam ple configuration of the Dec ision Tree in
the previous picture.

p33
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Configuration of the Decision Tree


An Administrator can use the decision tree as an alternate way to generate a label for an
email or document. It presents a series of questions such that a user can describe the work
they are doing allowing them to be guided to select the m ost appropriate label.

Question Library
The Question Library (QL) contains questions and pre-defined answers for eac h question. It
enables the reuse of questions between policies and groups potential answers together. This is
a new section within the admin tool and is located together with the other libraries outside of and
available to the policies. It w ill contain a collection of independent questions, each having a number of
associated answers.

Decision Tree Editor


A different Decision Tree may configured for each policy. The Decision Tree Editor operates in
a similar way to the Assisted Labelling Editor and when enabled is presented on a new
Decision Tree tab in the adm in tool.

User Interface Library


There is a user interface area for the Decision Tree dialog allowing c ustomisation of the dialog
that appears on the client. See the User Interface Library.

Refreshing the User Interface

 Renaming of selectors and selector values w ill be applied to any in use in the Decision Tree.
Therefore renaming then sw itching back to the Decision Tree will show the new names in the
configured labels.

 Changes of selectors in the policy (unless prevented by the ‘in use’ check) will be reflected in the
label dialog in the Decision Tree editor. That is, the currently available selectors and values,
together w ith colours and captions, will be shown w hen the Add Label dialog (or its corresponding
Properties instance) is next opened.

 Question Library changes are monitored and updated where they are used in the Decision Tree
Editors (all policies).

For more detailed information, see the Question Library.

p34
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Decision Tree in the Client


The Decision Tree dialog in the client is launched by a ribbon button. This button is available
when composing emails and when editing documents. The Decision Tree dialog may also be
invoked from the Label Selection dialog.

Note: The Decision Tree in the client feature will not be available for Sent Item email
messages.

The following images show examples of how the Decision Tree Dialog may appear in the
Client.

Single-select example using combo style options.

Label Interface Options


There are some differences between Outlook and OWA as per the examples in Ribbon examples.
This menu is by default displayed in the ribbon bar (see Ribbon examples). This operation can be
modified under Office Classifier using the Remove Classifier options from the ribbon.

Clear (Label value)

Note: For Notes Classifier this only appears on the label selection dialog. Not available under Mobile
Classifier.
This action clears the current values for each selector.
You can control whether this option appears using the Show labeller 'Clear' button setting.

Default

Note: For Notes Classifier this only appears on the label selection dialog. Not applicable under Mobile
Classifier.
This action restores the label value to the default label values defined by the policy.
You can control whether this option appears using the Show labeller 'Default' button setting.

Notes Classifier.
This action will open the link configured in URL for your labelling help site .
This action will be unavailable (greyed) if the setting is not configured.
Note: Whilst OWA Classifier supports the Help links defined in a Classifier Configuration, the nature of
OWA access may mean that a defined link is not accessible due to external access controls (e.g.
additional authentication requirements). Classifier Mail Add-in does not support this feature.

Show Summary Marking

Note: This is only applicable to Office Classifier. OW A Classifier and Mail Add-in Classifier do not allow
the user to close the Summary Marking area.
This action allows the user to re-instate the Summary Marking area. The action w ill only appear if the
following are all true:

 Show Summary Marking in task pane is Enabled (Disabled means the summary marking area never
appears).

 Force Summary Marking in task pane is Disabled (Enabled means the summary marking area
cannot be closed).

p39
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

 The user has closed the summary marking area that normally appears at the bottom of the
application window, AND the current environment does not provide another means of restoring the
summary marking area (e.g. Outlook provides an expand option after closure).

Classifier Administration Properties

Get Server Configuration


Admin : Classifier Administration -> Get Server Configuration
This is used to retrieve a copy of the deployed configuration to your local machine. It is typically used
w hen you w ish to apply changes to the existing master configuration. You retrieve a local copy, make
the required changes then (re-)publish the configuration to the master location. Further details of how
this fits into the overall process can be found in Configuration Deployment .
Note: This can only be performed by a Full Administrator role.

 Select Classifier Administration and choose Get Server Configuration .


 Click Yes if a confirmation dialog appears to draw your attention to the fact that it will
overwrite any existing local configuration.

p59
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Get Configuration warning


 Select the Active Directory or File Store option as required.

Get Configuration from location


 If you choose File Store, the Configuration is retrieved from the location defined by the
following registry setting:
 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTW ARE\Boldon James\Boldon James Classifier Management
WCF Service\ConfigImportFolder.
By default this points to c:ProgramData\Boldon James\Config Import Folder .
 Acknowledge the retrieval complete dialog.
Note: Getting the server configuration has no effect on any local Configuration Archives.

Publish Configuration
Admin : Classifier Administration -> Publish Configuration
Note: If the action is unavailable, it may be because a policy is locked.
Once your configuration is stable you need to publish it to make it available to the wider community
using either Active Directory or the file system. For an overview of these mechanisms see Configuration
Deployment.
Every time you publish a configuration, an archive copy is stored locally as described in Configuration
Archives.
Note: The configuration space requirements are outlined in Configuration size estimation .
Note: If you wish to publish the Classifier configuration via Active Directory then the Active Directory
Schema must be updated ( Extending the Active Directory Schema ). Schema update is not required if
you intend to publish the configuration via file store.
Publishing a configuration replaces any version previously stored in that location and is accomplished as
follows:
 Select the Classifier Administration node and choose Publish Configuration which will
display the follow ing:

p60
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Publish Configuration
 Select the Active Directory or File Store option as required.
 If you choose File Store, the configuration is retrieved from the follow ing registry setting:
 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTW ARE\Boldon James\Boldon James Classifier Management
WCF Service\ConfigPublishFolder.
By default this points to c:ProgramData\Boldon James\Config Publish Folder .
 The OK button is disabled until you enter a Publish Reason. The text entered w ill appear in
the event log entry that records the publication.
 If a policy has been configured in either of the following ways:
 To use the Use Single Click with pre-defined labels feature, but no buttons are
configured

 To use Connect Selectors - Assisted Labelling but no connected selectors are


configured
you cannot publish the configuration and a suitable dialog will be presented:

Publish - Single click ill defined


 Click OK. The following reminder appears:

p61
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Publish reminder
Note: Each time you publish a configuration, an archive copy is stored locally. See Configuration
Archives for full details.
 Click OK on the confirmation dialog.
Note: Publishing to Active Directory requires particular permissions that may not be available by default
to Domain Administrators on systems other than the Domain Controller. See Permissions for Publish to
AD for details of the permissions required.
Note: If you publish the configuration to file store you must ensure that the target (master) location
has suitable permissions. End users should have the ability to read from that location and administrators
that are to modify the master configuration must also have the ability to write to that location using the
network path.
Note: Changes made to the Classifier configuration must be published to ensure that Classifier
environments access the updated information.
Note: OWA Classifier only changes its configuration after a restart. Thus after publishing an updated
configuration, an IISRESET w ould be required to cause OWA Classifier to use that new configuration.
Note: SharePoint Classifier only picks up changes to the configuration after a restart or recycle of the
w ebsite w here SharePoint Classifier WCF service is installed. This is done through Internet Information
Services or on the command line through the Microsoft provided tool.
Note: Email and Office Classifier only pick up updated configuration on application restart. It is
advisable to restart all applications (Outlook, W ord, Excel etc.) to avoid applications using different
versions of the configuration.
Note: Users of File Classifier must Logoff/logon to pick up changes to the published configuration. This
is because explorer.exe stays running in the background (using the Classifier configuration available at
the start) even if the user closes the Explorer window.

Configuration Archives

Every time you publish a configuration, an archive copy is stored locally (on the Server system).
Note: The files in a configuration should NOT be edited manually - the configuration is signed, and
almost any change invalidates the configuration.
Archives are stored in a separate folder structure (C:\ProgramData\Boldon James
\CustomConfigurationArchives).

Each time you publish a configuration, a copy of the configuration being published is stored in a new
folder below CustomConfigurationArchives. The folder names start at zero and are incremented by one
each time.
The example below shows an archive structure of four archives (0 to 2):

p62
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Archive file structure


The archive copies mean that it is possible to manually roll back to an earlier configuration as follows:
 Choose the archive to which you wish to revert.
 The contents of description.txt (...ConfigurationArchives\n\Label Configurations\<Classifier
test>\description.txt) can be checked for the publish reason associated with that archive -
the publish reason supplied appears at the end of each entry made to the file.
 Delete the current contents of the ConfigImportFolder Configuration folder (Label
Configurations, Management and Messages).
 Copy the same folders (Label Configurations, Management and Messages) from below the
relevant archive and into the configuration folder.
 Invoke Get Server Configuration .
 Check that the restored configuration is the one you want.
Note: Housekeeping and backup of these archive folders is a matter for the user.

Permissions for Publish to AD

Publishing the configuration to Active Directory requires the ability to delete (and re-create) relevant
objects below the cn=Boldon James node. These permissions are not assigned by default to Domain
Administrators. The following sequence shows you how to check / assign the relevant permissions:
 Logon as a user that has Enterprise Administrator capabilities.
 Run ADSIedit.
 Choose Connect to ... and select Configuration from Select a well-known Naming
Context.

Configuration size estimation

The Classifier configuration comprises a set of folders and files that are published.
Publication to file store is a copy process and the size is easily determined (e.g. the structure below C:\|
Users\<username>\Appdata\Roaming\Boldon James\Configuration - note these folders may be hidden):

Configuration folder structure and size

p69
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Publication to Active Directory maps each folder and file to an individual object in Active Directory, and
requires base-64 encoding for image files. This encapsulation process incurs an overhead. The impact
on the Active Directory (the NTDS.dit file typically found in the Window s\ntds folder) can be estimated
using the following:

Component Impact on Active Directory (Kb)

Configuration content. Configuration size in file store.

Overhead estimate per object in AD (1.1 Kb per The number of folders plus the number files in the
item). configuration * 1.1.

Overheads for base-64 encoding of image files. The size of all image files *.33.

Total Sum of the above.

A typical Classifier configuration contains about 15 folders and 16 files; plus 1 folder and 7 files per
policy; plus however many image files are added. With no image files and a single policy the
configuration w ithin Active Directory would typically be less than 300 Kb.

Publish Test Configuration

Admin : Classifier Administration -> Publish Test Configuration


Note: This action is not applicable to server based Classifier applications (e.g. OWA Classifier) as it is
designed to operate in conjunction with Test Mode Administration which operates in a local desktop
environment.
Once you have completed configuration of a policy (including the Label UI and Rules) you should check
that the policy produces the desired effect for the end user. The Publish Test Configuration action
facilitates this w ithout disturbing the deployed configuration.
Note: If you just wish to see how the label selection interface will look for a policy, you can use the
Label Preview action rather than starting an application after Publish Test Configuration .
Note: There is a Test mode auditing setting that can be used to stop the capture of audit information
when Publish Test Configuration is invoked.
There are a number of steps, most only apply the first time the test configuration mechanism is used.
1. Establish a configuration that you wish to test.
2. Establish a folder in a suitable location into which test configurations can be published (e.g.
\\ICS-DC-1\TestMode.
This needs to be a file store folder:
o That can be w ritten to by the Classifier Administration Service (and by the user under which
that service is running).
o That can be accessed (read) by the user(s) who will use Test Mode Administration.

3. The path to the test folder can be set using Administrator Settings menu -> Configuration Folder
Paths.
4. Select Classifier Administration then choose Publish Test Configuration and provide a name
for the sub-folder that w ill hold the test configuration, and a reason for the publication.

p70
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Publish Test Configuration


5. Click OK to publish the test configuration.
6. See Test Mode Administration for details of how to use the test configuration.

Test Mode Administration


Admin : Classifier Administration -> Publish Test Configuration -> Test Mode Administration
This topic describes how you can explore the effects of a test configuration published using Publish Test
Configuration.
For each system that is to be used as a platform for exploring test configurations:
1. Ensure that the relevant base applications (e.g. Microsoft Office) are installed and working.
2. Ensure that Email and Office Classifier is installed.
3. Ensure that Classifier Test Mode Administration is installed (this is a separately installable item
that can be found in the TestModeAdministration folder under the Classifier Administration Server
installation structure.
4. Ensure that none of the Classifier applications (Word etc.) is running.
5. Invoke Classifier Test Mode Administration from the start menu. This w ill present a dialog
allowing you to define the location containing the test configurations (e.g. \\ICS-DC-1\TestMode).
The dialog is updated to show the available test configurations.

p71
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Choose Test Configuration


1. Select the required Test Configuration and click Run Test.
2. If the configuration contains multiple polices, you are prompted to select the policy to be used:

Available Policies
This test sequence w ill temporarily set specific registry settings that direct Classifier applications to
use the chosen test configuration and policy, rather than any deployed configuration.
3. Start the application(s) to be tested. A dialog shows the currently active (Classifier) applications

Running Applications
4. End Test Mode is only enabled if there are no Classifier application running.

p72
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Close Applications
5. When a Classifier application starts running it indicates that it is operating in Test Mode.

Application Test Mode warning


6. End Test Mode is only enabled if there are no Classifier application running
Once you have checked the Classifier functionality, close all open affected applications (e.g. Word
and Outlook) and then click End Test Mode on the Classifier Administration Policy Test dialog.
When the applications are restarted, they revert to standard operation.

Lock / Unlock Configuration


Admin : Classifier Administration -> Lock / Unlock Configuration
The Lock Configuration action can be used to indicate to other Classifier administrators that the
configuration should not be published at the moment (e.g. because configuration changes are
incomplete).
If the configuration is locked, the Unlock Configuration action is displayed and the Publish
Configuration action is inhibited (greyed).
There is a similar Lock / Unlock Policy actions. Note, however, that Unlock Configuration will NOT
affect any policy locks - they w ill remain in effect.

Create Web Configuration


Admin : Classifier Administration -> Create Web Configuration
Note: If the action is unavailable, it may be because a policy is locked.
Classifier clients and Classifier Management Agent retrieve master configuration updates from the
location defined using Classifier Configuration Settings . These may point to a file store location,
Active Directory, or a URL location.
This topic describes how to produce a copy of the Classifier configuration in the format required in
support of this feature (retrieval from a URL).

 It is assumed that you have already:

o An established Classifier configuration.


o If Classifier Management Agent is to be used, then you have already deployed Classifier
Management Agent version 3.8.1 or later BUT configured to retrieve the master configuration
from Active Directory or file store, (i.e. you have established the relevant registry entries

p73
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

described in Classifier Management Agent Guide (UM6411)).


The general steps to support retrieval of configuration from a URL by Classifier Management Agent are:
1. Establish a zipped version of the master configuration and associated version.txt file as described
below .
2. Establish the zipped version of the master configuration and associated version.txt file on your
designated w eb page.
3. Establish the necessary Web Host Settings.
4. When the Clients / Management Agent restarts, they retrieve the master configuration from the
designated w eb location.

To establish the encrypted version of the master configuration:


 Select the Classifier Administration node and choose Create Web Configuration which
w ill display the following:

Create Web Configuration


 Supply a passw ord and click Save.
The configuration (config) and version file are saved to the folder defined by Folder for
'Create Web Configuration' described under Administration Management Menu ->
Configuration Folder Paths .
 The dialog presented shows an encrypted form of the password. For example:

Encrypted Password
The value shown is required to populate the WebConfigKey (Service Mode Web Config
Key) registry entry (see Web Host Settings) that allows Classifier Management Agent to
decrypt the configuration from the configured URL. Click Copy to clipboard, and then
Close.
Note: It is a matter for site policy as to whether the same password is used to encrypt
subsequent iterations, but if the plain text password value changes, the WebConfigKey
registry entry must be updated accordingly.

The encrypted string generated above may change each time EVEN IF THE PLAIN TEXT
PASSWORD VALUE IS UNCHANGED. There is NO need to update the WebConfigKey registry
entry just because the encrypted string has changed.
 Check that the target (Zipped Configuration) folder contains both zip and version.txt files.

p74
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Generated Web Configuration files


Copy both the zip and version.txt files your intended web location.
Note: Each time the Classifier Configuration is published the version.txt file is re-written
containing a unique value. Management Agent uses the contents of this file on the URL site
to ascertain whether the (encrypted) configuration has changed.
 Ensure that the relevant Web Host Settings are established, in particular that the encrypted
password value is stored in WebConfigKey (Service Mode Web Config Key) .
 Maintain the URL configuration by repeating the steps above every time a new master
configuration is published.

Languages

Admin : Global Settings / Languages


Classifier Administration allows you to configure all the text presented to users through the various
Classifier features (e.g. User Message Library, User Interface Library etc.). However, these basic
facilities support a single set of definitions which equate to a Configuration default language .
The Configuration default language is initially English, but you can change the presentation values
configured for this 'language' using the language mechanisms described in this document.
Classifier Languages mechanisms allow you to support multiple languages such that the text presented
to each user is appropriate (site configurable) for their chosen Language / Country.
Overview of the Languages mechanisms:

 The Languages to be supported are defined by selecting the Global Settings / Languages node.
Initially the list only includes the Configuration default language entry.

p83
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Languages initial state

 When a Language is added to the configuration it has no language specific values defined. You must
configure each required value - if an item does not have a language specific value defined, the
Algorithm (below) will be used to produce a value for display.

 You can Add additional language entries, and Delete any language entry except for the
Configuration default language (you will be warned that all associated values will be lost). This
list of languages is presented wherever per Language values may be configured (see table below).

 Selected languages can be of the form Language (Country) or Language (e.g. French
(Belgium) or French).

 Algorithm for finding the text to display


Once the language configuration is complete and deployed, the Classifier applications (e.g. Office
Classifier) will observe the algorithm below to obtain the 'appropriate' text to display (e.g. button
caption, User message etc.):
o If the item of interest ( e.g. User message) has a value defined (not blank) for a Language
(Country) setting that exactly matches the current environment, then use that value,
otherwise -
o If the item of interest has a value defined for the (culture neutral) Language, that matches
the current environment then use that value, otherwise -
o If the item of interest has a value defined for the Policy default Language , then use that
value, otherwise -
o If the item of interest has a value defined for the Configuration default Language , then
use that value, otherwise -
o There is no defined value.

Thus you only have to define Language specific values if the algorithm described above would not
yield an appropriate value from one of the other Languages.
As an example you might have a French speaking community to serve, where most users can use
general French, but a few settings require community specific values (e.g. a Swiss variant of
French). You would then:
o Define French and French/Swiss as your supported languages;

o Configure the full range of values (actually only those essential for your environment) for
French;
o Set French as your policy default;
o Configure French/Sw iss variants only for those items that specifically require a different
value.
Features supporting Language mechanisms
Global Settings No facilities (not applicable).

User Message Library You can define per language Title, Text and Help URL link values for each
message through the Message Properties as described in Add a new message.
You can select which Language settings the User Message List presents.

p84
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

User Interface Library You can define per language values for each of the configurable text items as
described in the sub-topics below User Interface Library / Properties (UI
Definition Items).

Selector Library Limited facilities are provided (see features excluded table below).
Per language values for the Caption and Tooltip can be defined for each
selector as described in Add a new selector. Equivalent policy settings are also
available.
Single selection list supports localisation (Languages) of selector Value Name,
Tooltip, Portion and Alternate Name /2/3.
You can select which Language related settings the Set Selector view presents.
You can also make use of the Alternate names which can be defined for
Single Selection Lists, Multiple Selection lists and Date offset Lists as
described under Selector Library / Selector Actions / Edit Selector.

Marking Library No facilities (see features excluded table below).

Content Library No facilities (not applicable).

Configuration Settings No facilities (not applicable).

Policies The Policy default language can be defined as described in Properties (Policy).
Per language values for the Caption and Tooltip can be defined for each
selector (Set Selectors) as described in Policies / Policy Label UI / Selector
Properties (Policy) / Selector Properties / General .

Policy / Single Click Per language values for the Caption and Tooltip can be defined for each
Single Click button as described in Use Single Click with pre-defined labels.

Clearance Settings No facilities (not applicable).

The following Classifier features are excluded from the Languages mechanisms (are not site
translatable):
Marking Formats Markings present business policy information (e.g. sensitivity) which must be
meaningful to all users. Supporting different markings for different locales
would be confusing to end users.
Sites can make their Markings multi-language (e.g. include both German and
English in a LLOT disclaimer).
(Not recommended) Sites may assign separate policies (applying different
Markings) to different groups (languages) of users.

"No Marking" text is For the same reasons as Marking Formats above. Sites can define 'composite'
not translatable text if required, e.g. "No Marking / Pas Marking / Nein Marking / ..".

Selector values are not Multiple selection list and Date offset list do NOT support localisation
translatable (Languages) of selector Value Name, Tooltip, Portion and Alternate Name /2/3.
Note: Selector Captions and Tooltips do support the Languages mechanisms.

Licence

Admin : Global Settings / Licence


The features available to users are determined by the configuration established using Classifier
Administration and deployed to those users.
Classifier Administration only enables configuration of features for which the site is licensed. The
available features for each licence can be seen in the table Features versus Licence. The licence status
can be inspected from Email and Office Classifier as described in View Client Licence Status.
A Licence may be effective for a limited duration (e.g. for evaluation), subscription or in perpetuity
(Full).
Note: This document (Classifier Administration Server Guide) describes all features supported by
Classifier. Depending upon the licences you have, some features may not appear or be greyed out. For
example, if you do not have a licence for OW A Classifier, then OWA Classifier features will be
unavailable.
Initial installation w ill supply one or more Classifier licence files in the Licence sub-folder on the
Classifier Administration CD image. Each licence file has a name of the form IMP xxx.LIC, where xxx
relates to the feature or option (e.g. IMPCEM - Email Classifier; IMPCOF - Office Classifier; IMPCOW -
OWA Classifier; IMPCLN - Notes Classifier).
The initial installation has no licence files applied to the configuration. Each licence is applied using the
sequence described below . If a site purchases additional options, an additional licence file is supplied
w hich can be merged into the existing licence settings.
Note: For Citrix environments: Classifier licences are on a per user basis, thus there is no difference if a
user is using Email or Office Classifier using Citrix or that same user is using a Windows desktop, or
using Window s Terminal Server. OWA Classifier requires its own licence.
 Run Classifier Administration.
 Select Global Settings
 Choose Licence. This presents the current licence information in the dialog below. Initially
this is empty.

Licence management interface


 To merge in a new licence file (enabling additional features) c lick Add / Update.
 Browse to the location of the new licence file, select the file and click Open. For an initial
installation the default location to find Licence files is in folders (one per licence) below the
Licence sub-folder on the Classifier Base bundle.
 The selected file is merged into the existing licence file and the Licence Management dialog
w ill be updated to reflect the changes.
 Licence consistency w ill be checked when you click OK. When upgrading existing licences to
a new Level you may have to Update all current licences to the new level before clicking OK
.

 Selecting an entry in the list and clicking Details will show further information about the
licence.

Licence details
Note: If you have difficulty merging a new licence on to an existing system, it is likely that w hat you
are attempting is breaking the restrictions below (e.g. you have Evaluation licences and are attempting
to update only one of your products to a Full licence - you must update all installed products at the
same time (do not exit the licence dialog until all product licences have been updated),
Restrictions
There are certain limitations applied by the licence management software:

 All licences must be at the same level (3 or 4). For example you cannot use an (historic) Email
Classifier Standard Edition licence (Level 3) and an Enterprise Edition (Level 4) Office Classifier
licence. Therefore, to add the Enterprise Edition Level 4 licence for the Office Classifier to a
configuration that contains Email and Office Classifier, you need to obtain and apply an Enterprise
Edition (Level 4) licence for Email Classifier at the same time.

 You can update Evaluation licences to a Full licences, but not revert from a Full to an Evaluation
licence. You can have a configuration that includes a mixture of Full and Evaluation licences. If an
Evaluation licence expires, the features it licences are disabled/unavailable.

 If you wish to stop using one licensed feature (e.g. OWA Classifier), and want to ensure that only
the relevant features are made unavailable in Classifier Administration, you may have to
reimplement your configuration using only the subset licences now required, or request assistance
from Classifier support.

 Historic - You must use at least a Standard Edition (Level 3) licence if you have an existing
configuration created w ith Classifier Administration Console Version 1.0.

Features versus Licence

This topic summarises various features indicating Classifier product support (Email, Office, OWA, Notes,
Mail Add-in and Mobile Classifier) and the release versions in which they were first supported.
Note: This document assumes that the Classifier Licence(s) are Enterprise Level. Some features may
not be available on systems using (historic) Standard level 3 licences. These are annotated as [NH] in
the table below.
In the table below , x.y (e.g. 3.5) indicates a feature that is new in that version of Classifier products.
Versions of Classifier products prior to that number do NOT support the feature (Classifier 1.3 (which
preceded 3.4) is assumed as the baseline). For products other than Email and Office Classifier, and
Classifier Administration you should also check the Application (e.g. OWA Classifier) Release Note for
Application specific limitations additional to those in the table below and in individual topics.

Note: Classifier currently only supports images stored as .JPG, JPEG or .PNG files.
Note: Images stored in the configuration are limited to a maximum size of 5Mb, and if you add an
image greater than 500Kb a warning will be presented.
The Image Library allow s you to define site specific images to be presented to the end user in some
circumstances (Single Click configuration option, and specific W ord, PowerPoint rules). This section
describes how you establish these images and their usage.
The set of images is managed through the Image Library node in the Classifier Configuration. The full
set of images is available for the Administrator for selection in all Classifier Policies.
If you intend to configure a Rule that supports an image, you should ensure that a suitable image is
available before defining the rule, or define the image at the image selection point in the rule definition
sequence using the "New..." option.
The rules that support images are described under Rules supported / Add rules:
o Add this image into header w ith this text wrapping and this alignment (Word)
o Add this image into footer w ith this text wrapping and this alignment (Word)
o Add this image as a w atermark (Word/Outlook )
o Add this image to top of page w ith this text wrapping and this alignment (PowerPoint )

User Message Library


The User Message Library allows you to define site specific messages to be presented to the end user
instead of default product messages. This section describes how you establish these messages and their
usage.
The set of User Messages is managed through the User Message Library node in the Classifier
Configuration. The full set of messages is available for the Administrator for selection in all Classifier
Policies. If you use multiple Classifier Policies you may find it useful to define alternative texts for use in
different policies.
If you intend to configure a Rule that presents a User Message configuration option, you should ensure
that a suitable message is available before defining the rule, or define the message at the message
selection point in the rule definition sequence using the " New..." option. The set of rules that require
User Messages is defined in Use of User Messages.
The following actions are supported on User messages:

 Add a new message


 Language (Message) [Only available if Languages support is enabled. Provides the ability to switch
the view to see the message configuration for a specific Language.]

 Properties (Message) [Provides the ability to change any of the Properties of the message including
its name (i.e. Rename)].

 Copy (Message)
 Delete (Message)
Selecting the User Message Library node displays a list of the currently defined messages. This list
initially contains pre-defined messages which you can use as you wish (adapt, delete, etc.).

User Messages List

Use of User Messages

Check rules in the Policy configuration perform checks and allow you to select the message that is
displayed to the end user, or to define reasons presented to users if you use the Challenge Options

User Interface Library


Admin : User Interface Library
Classifier is highly configurable. Some user visible text controlled by the site through the User Message
Library. However, other aspects of user presentation (e.g. Button captions and tooltips) have default
values built in to the code.
The User Interface Library allow s you to create and manage one or more User Interface Definitions
w hich can override these default values. Each policy then defines, through Properties (Policy) the User
Interface Definition (UI definition) it is to use - there is a fixed default UI definition (named as Default)
w hich is the UI definition assumed when policies are created.
The initial state of the User Interface Library shows no UI definitions - the Default UI definition is
always hidden and cannot be changed.

LABELLING CONFIGURATIONS
Note: At this time only a single Labelling Configuration is supported.
Most Classifier settings are held in a Labelling Configuration (with the exception of the Settings
applicable across the organisation). The initial installation has no labelling configuration defined. A
Configuration is established by an administrator who can then Publish that configuration to a master
location. To make a change to the master configuration you should retrieve the master configuration,
operate on it locally and then publish the update. Care should be taken if more than one person is
making changes to the configuration, and further details of this process can be found in Configuration
Deployment.
The following actions are relevant:

 Add a new Label Configuration

 Properties (Label Configuration)

 Delete (Label Configuration)


Immediately after installation there is no Label Configuration defined. Once you have established your
local configuration (using Add a new label configuration ) you will have access to the various configurable
features summarised below.

Labelling Configurations
The Configuration (including the Global Settings and User Message Library) can be Published and
retrieved using:

 Publish Configuration (available from the Classifier Administration node)

 Get Server Configuration (available from the Classifier Administration node)


You have access to the following top level features:

Selector Library The set of Selectors and Selector values defined for this configuration
Marking Library The set of Marking Formats defined for this configuration
Content library The set of definitions to be used by Content Checking
Condition Library The set of Conditions that can be used w ith Add Rules and Apply Rules.
Configuration settings Settings that apply to all users of the Label Configuration.
Policies One or more Policies that tailor the features to meet the requirements for a
group of users.
Clearance Settings (Optional) Provides access to the settings that manage Domain (if enabled)
and Dynamic Clearance features.

Add a new label configuration


Admin : Labelling Configurations  Add a new label configuration
Note: Configuration features are made available according to the features licensed. Before creating a
configuration you must apply at least one suitable licence using the features described under Licence. If
you try to create a configuration before you apply a licence, Classifier Administration will direct you to
supply a licence.
A new Labelling Configuration can be established as described below. Any existing local Configuration
must first be deleted [Delete (Label Configuration) ].
You should consider if there is an existing (Master) configuration that you should retrieve from a central
location using Get Server Configuration.
A labelling configuration is based on a template configuration. The product is supplied with a number of
template configurations including an Empty Configuration.
 Select Labelling Configurations and choose Add a new Label Configuration to display
the following:

Add a new label configuration


 Enter the Name of your labelling Configuration. This name may be included as the
"Configuration Name” element in Marking Format definitions (e.g. Classifier test).
 Choose a Category and select the Template most appropriate to your environment (this
document has used the Miscellaneous / Empty Ccnfiguration template).

p128
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

 If there is no licence currently applied (e.g. immediately after installation) when you invoke
Add a new Label Configuration you will need to add apply a licence file as follow s.
 Click the Browse button which will present an Open dialog. Navigate to the location of the licence file to
be applied (e.g. below Base Bundle\Licence and open a suitable folder (e.g. Email Classifier).
 Select the .LIC file presented (e.g. IMPCEM.LIC) and click Open. This will populate the Licence File field.
[These licence files are limited period evaluation licences).
 Click OK.
 You can apply additional licences as described under Licence.
You now have a complete configuration that can be explored or modified.

Properties (Label Configuration)


Admin : Labelling Configurations / {configuration}  Properties
You can view and change the properties of the selected Label configuration. Changing the Name field
effectively performs a rename as per the sequence below.
 Select Labelling Configurations and select the relevant configuration.
 Choose Properties.
 Change the contents of the Name field and then click OK.
Note: This will change the local name of the configuration. To make this Configuration operational you
w ill have to Publish the configuration and ensure that all client environments are updated to refer to the
new configuration.
Note: 'Renaming' a Configuration changes how the Configuration name appears (e.g. in an applied
Marking). Classifier maintains the unique identifier originally assigned, and so pre-existing Label values
are still valid.

Delete (Label Configuration)


Admin : Labelling Configurations / {configuration}  Delete
You can delete your local Labelling Configuration. This removes the local information, but will not affect
any published location.
 Select Labelling Configurations and select the relevant configuration.
 Choose Delete which will present the following dialog.

Delete Label Configuration


 By default any licences applied are retained and available in a Label Configuration you then
create. If for some reason you need to remove the existing licences, check the Delete
licences in use by this configuration option. You will then have to apply licences to any
new configuration you create.

Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Selector Library
Admin : Labelling Configurations  {configuration}  Selector Library
Note: The names of Selectors and Selector values must be unique within the configuration to avoid
ambiguities when parsing text labels.
A Label (Classification) is made up of one or more Selector Values that together “classify” an object
(document / message) w ith that label having meaning within the organisation, defining qualities such as
its sensitivity / importance / operational handling. For example, a label may just contain non-disclosure
information.
Selecting the Selector Library node show s a list of the configured Selectors (initially empty if you are
using the Empty Configuration Template) and the Values defined for the currently selected Selector.
Each Selector defines one or more Values that may be selected by the end user (using the Label
Selection interface). The Selector Library defines the Selectors and Values supported by this Label
Configuration. However, the Selectors and Values actually available to end users are defined through a
Policy which allows Selectors and / or Values to be hidden from selected users according to the policy
that is assigned to them.

Control over w hich Selectors and values are presented to end users is actually controlled as part of
Policy definition. Selectors and Values must be specifically chosen for presentation in a policy.
You should define all Selectors that are meaningful in your Label Configuration. This may include
Selectors that are not included in all policies. This may arise for example because one of your Selectors
is only relevant to a specific set of users. This does not preclude those (limited) users from receiving
labels containing values from the ‘hidden’ selector.
All Selectors can be show n through the standard Marking Format mechanisms. The behaviour when a
user receives a document or email message containing a value relating to such a ‘hidden’ selector is
described in Retained (Retained Selectors being the term used to refer to Selectors NOT available for
selection in the current policy).
By default a Selector is not Mandatory – that is a Label may be valid if it has no Value selected for this
Selector. You can ensure that a user chooses a value for a Selector (it is Mandatory) by configuring
Check these mandatory selectors rules.
Selector values are relevant to any Check for the high-water mark rules (Email, OWA and Notes).
Selectors and their values are usually Active, but may be Active, Obsolete or Retained .
The actions supported are described in Selector Actions .
Once you have defined some selectors the display appears as follow s:

When you Add a new selector, or choose the Edit Selector action you are presented with a dialog
show ing the various Selector properties described.
There are some properties common to all selector types (Name etc.), and other properties which vary
w ith the selector type.
Note: The selector type property is defined at creation time and is not changeable (or visible) through
the Properties action.
There are some properties common to all selector types (Name etc.), which are described below , and
other properties which vary with the selector type.
Properties common to all selector types:
Name This is the Name of the Selector in the Classifier Configuration. This Name is used when
assigning Selectors for inclusion in a Policy. The Name must be unique in the Configuration.
You may change the Name of a Selector (Rename) using the Properties action– it will
change all instances of the Selector name throughout the Label Configuration.
Language [Only visible if Allow multiple languages is enabled - see Properties (Classifier
Administration)]. You only need to define Language specific values if the algorithm defined
in Languages would not yield a suitable value from another configured Language. Selecting
the Language allows you to define the values to be displayed for that Language.
Choose the Language and then set the Caption and/or Tooltip and other values as required.
Caption This is the name presented to the end user. The value may be overridden by a Caption
setting at the Policy level.
If you do not set this explicitly then the Selector Name is used as the Caption.
Note: The value should be short enough to fit into the ribbon bar area that presents the
Label selection interface. It is sensible to check that the effects are reasonable in all relevant
environments (e.g. Outlook / OWA / Notes / Office etc.).
ToolTip This is an optional string that appears if a user hovers over the Selector in the Label
Selection area of the ribbon bar (maximum length 1000).
Note: The Include this Selector in Clearance Checks setting can now be found on the Edit values
(Selectors) dialog.
Properties that vary with the selector type are described in the following:

 Single selection list

 Multiple selection list

 Text entry

 Date picker

p134
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

 Date offset list


Some properties and actions are common to Single selection / Multiple selection / Date offset list
selector types and are described in detail in:

Note: Single selection list selectors can take part in Clearance checking, high-water mark checks ( Label
Dominance) and Check for Label Change on Reply/Forward.
Single selection list selectors can be presented in the Ribbon Bar.
Choosing Edit values for a Single selection list presents a dialog similar to below allowing you to view
and modify the various Properties.

Edit Selector (Single Selection list)


The language selection drop down menu is only presented ( Configuration default language in the

Note: Multiple languages are NOT supported by Date offset list selectors.
Features and properties common to Single selection / Multiple selection and Date offset list are
described in:

 New (Selector value)


 Properties (Selector Values) (Name, Colour, Image, Tooltip, Portion, Alternate name / 2 / 3).
 Buttons (Selector values) (Move up/down, Obsolete / Restore / Delete buttons).

The remaining settings have specific relevance to Single selection lists:


Include this selector in clearance and attachment checks This setting should be checked if any of
the following apply:
o You intend to configure rules to Check for the high-water mark .

o You intend to configure rules to Check for Author label change or Check for label
change (Check rules).
o You intend to perform Label dominance checks and use Portion Marking ( Portion Marking). It
allows the software to ascertain whether one label ‘dominates’ another to ensure that the
email message label "dominates" all attachment labels for example (see also Label
Dominance).
o You intend to configure rules to Check for Author label change or Check for label
change (Check rules) under Email, OWA or Notes Classifier and this selector is to be
included in those checks (Application Settings / Clearance check Email Domains or
Clearance check Users must be Enabled).
Hierarchy This setting is only relevant if Include this selector in clearance and attachment
checks is set. [Hierarchy has no impact on Clearance checks, since all clearances are
specific]. Three choices are available via the drop down list:
o No Hierarchy This Selector does not operate as a Hierarchy. The Hierarchy column is
removed from the dialog above.
Note: Selecting No Hierarchy in conjunction with Include this selector in clearance
and attachment checks will cause the user to have to resolve issues such as High-w ater
mark checks detecting differences between message label and attachment label(s) that
might be resolved automatically if the selector was Hierarchic.
o Hierarchical based on the value order The Selector operates as a Hierarchy and the
order of appearance is the same as the display order (The value at the top of the list is
dominated by the second in the list in turn dominated by the third…). The hierarchy value is
automatically derived from the position (and is sequential - 1,2,3...).
o Hierarchical with manual configuration The Selector operates as a Hierarchy but you
must set the relative order manually (through the Edit Values dialog / Hierarchy column).
The value assigned a hierarchy value of 1 is dominated by the value assigned 2, which is
dominated by 3 etc. Choosing this value makes the relevant cells editable, and allows the
display order to be different to the hierarchy order.
Note: If you happen to define the hierarchy values sequentially starting at 1, then Classifier
w ill detect this and automatically sw itch the setting to Hierarchical based on the value order.
You can change this subsequently by assigning different values.

Note: These features are only applicable to Single selection, Multiple selection and Date offset list
selector types.
Note: Localisation (Languages) is not supported for Date offset list selectors).
Selector Values and their properties are managed through the Edit Values window in three ways:

 By direct edit of a cell in the Edit Selector window (text entry or drop dow n). Simply select the cell
and perform the change.

 By selection from a drop dow n list from which you can choose the setting you require (e.g. a colour)
 By use of the Buttons (Selector values) to perform an action on the selected Value (e.g. Move up /
Move down)
Multiple language support for selector values
Single selection list and Multiple selection list selectors optionally provide multiple language support
allowing you to configure language specific values for selector value Name, Tooltip, Portion and
Alternate name 1/2/3.
Selecting a configured language will show the values associated with that language. If there is no
language specific value defined for a property then the Algorithm for finding the text to display
defined in Languages is used to determine a value to be displayed and associated with the chosen
language.

p141
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Supported properties:
Name This is the string that by default is presented to the end user for selection of this Value via
the Label Selection interface; assuming the Selector and Value are available in the policy
applicable to the user.
You can choose to present the Portion or Alternate value rather than the Name in the
Label selection interface as described in Policy Label UI / Selector Properties / Options .
Colour This allows you to associate a colour (selected from the drop dow n colour dialog). Setting
the colour property for a Selector Value means that any marking which contains that Value
w ill automatically adopt the associated colour as the text colour. This is subject to the
proviso that the marking location must be capable of presenting colour (e.g. It would be Ok
in a Summary Marking presented in information bar, but not applicable to Meta data
locations). Marking formats may override the colour setting.
By default there is no colour setting.
Note: You can 'unset' an existing colour setting by: selecting the selector, choosing Edit
Values, clicking on the Colour cell to display the Colour Picker dialog. Then press CTRL + DEL
to revert to no colour setting.
Image (Only applicable to Single and Multiple selection list selectors and only relevant if
Use Single Click with pre-defined labels is enabled). You can associate an image from the
Image Library with the chosen selector value.
Tooltip This is an optional text value (maximum length 1000 characters including CR/LF etc.) that
w ill appear if a user hovers over the Selector value in the label selection dialog. If no value
is chosen, or there is no Tooltip defined for the selected value, then the Tooltip defined for
the parent Selector will be shown.
Note: Due to the nature of the environment, certain unusual characters within a tooltip
(e.g. ) may appear as a box ( ) when displayed via OWA. It is prudent to
check that any tooltip defined appears as intended in all relevant environments.
Note: There is no support for different language variants of Selector value tooltips.

Selector value tooltip


Portion This is a text string that can be defined to make use of the Classifier Portion Marking
features. It allows you to allocate a short form of the Label Value so that when you wish to
mark parts of a Word document or email message as (for example) “Confidential" or "Public"
the short form (portion marking value) is inserted instead. For example:
[P] indicating that this text may be circulated publicly
[C] indicating that this text is confidential and must not be circulated publicly
If you are not using Portion marking in emails or Word, then you can leave this setting
blank. Please see Portion Marking for further details on the use of this mechanism.
You can choose to present the Portion or Alternate value rather than the Name in the
Label selection interface as described in Policy Label UI / Selector Properties / Options .

p142
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Alternate name / Alternate 2 / Alternate 3 These values may be defined if you wish to
establish different Marking Formats to encode the current label value in different ways.
For example you may w ish to establish a Marking Format which presents the selected values
in full and perhaps use that format in Headers and Footers; but for Subject Prefix in email
messages you may require shortened forms (e.g. Public - > Pub). Up to three “alternate
names” for a value can be defined using these properties. When you configure a Marking
Format you can use either the Value Name, or any configured Alternative name.
You can choose to present the Portion or Alternate value rather than the Name in the
Label selection interface as described in Policy Label UI / Selector Properties / Options .

For further information see also Active Obsolete and Retained Selectors and values .

p144
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Active Obsolete and Retained Selectors and values

Selectors and Selector Values can be referred to as Active / Obsolete or Retained as described below. In
the simplest mode of operation selector values available in the current policy (via Policy / Set Selectors
display) are available to the user when setting the label value.
Active
Selector values 'added' into a policy are deemed Active. They are available for the user to choose as a
label value. Active values in an existing label are used as the initial value for a new object (e.g. forward
an email).
Obsolete
Over time you may find that some Selector values fall into disuse and should no longer be applied to
new objects. Classifier accommodates this circumstance by allowing you to designate Selector values
and/or Selectors (all values) as Obsolete.
Designating a Selector or Selector Value as obsolete means that it can still be recognised and presented
w hen it is found in an existing object (e.g. in the summary label for a document labelled w ith an
Obsolete value); but the user is not allowed to select that Selector/value when creating a new object.
So for example, if you forward or reply to an existing email that contains an obsolete Selector Value, the
obsolete value is dropped from the new email message, and replaced by the default value (if any) for
that selector. So obsolete selectors/selector values do not contribute to label dow ngrade checks.
Note: Saving a document containing an Obsolete selector value is treated as a new document, and any
Obsolete selector values are replaced by default values.
Obsolete Selectors take no part in Rules because Rules only apply to new objects (which by definition
cannot include Obsolete values). Whilst there is at least one Selector value active in a policy the
Selector can contribute to Rules.
You cannot obsolete a Selector until all Rules referencing the Selector have been deleted or modified to
avoid any reference to that Selector.
Note: If you have a Selector that is not Active or Retained in the current Policy AND is not marked as
Obsolete in the Selector Library it operates as though it w as actually marked as Obsolete - i.e.
presented if found, but not propagated.

Retained
You may have Selectors that are only available for selection by some users. Other users may only be
able to receive email messages containing those Selector values, but you want such users to be able to
forward an email containing the 'restricted' selector value - i.e. to retain the label value when
Forwarding. You can mark a selector as being retained via the appropriate checkbox on the selector in
the Selectors in Policy dialog. Retained Selectors can be used in Policy Rules in the same way as
active selectors and is processed by downgrading rules. Thus if you add a Selector to a Policy as a
retained selector, then any rules associated with that selector and its values are retained and applied in
the policy.

Delete (Selector)

Admin : Labelling Configurations  {configuration}  Selector Library / {selector}  Delete


Note: Deleting a Selector should only be used if you are sure that there are no documents or emails in
existence that use that selector. It may be more appropriate to mark the selector as Obsolete.
Deleting a Selector removes all associated Values. You cannot delete a selector if it is still in use in a
policy.
 Select Selector Library and choose the relevant selector.
 Choose Delete
 Click Yes to confirm the Delete action or No to abandon the action.
 If the Selector is still in use in a Policy you are prompted and the action disallowed.

Label Dominance

If high-water mark (HWM) checks are configured by a rule, then when a mail message is sent the
message label must ‘dominate’ the labels of any attachments (and optionally Portion Marks).
Note: If you are using Portion Marking in Email Classifier and require message labels to dominate all
Portion marks in the email message body you must also Enable - Ensure label dominates all portion
marking.
The Label Dominance algorithm employs a different check depending upon the selector type:

Selector type Notes

Single selection list (If Include this selector in clearance and attachment checks is
un-checked the selector takes no part in label dominance operations)
The operation depends on the Hierarchy setting for a Single selection
list:
Hierarchic - the message label value is set to the 'highest' value from
the message and attachment labels.
No Hierarchy - The user will have to be involved in resolving any
incompatible label issues*.

Multiple selection list (If Include this selector in clearance and attachment checks is
un-checked the selector takes no part in label dominance operations).
The union of all values for the selector from the message and
attachments is formed, and subject to the configured Maximum, is
applied to the message label. If the Maximum is exceeded, then the
user will be involved in resolving the issue*.

Freeform text Freeform text selectors take no part in Label Dominance (HW M)
checks.

Date pick The message label value will be set to the 'highest' date of those set
on the label and attachments.
Date item

* For Single valued selectors, it may be not be possible to modify the message label to fully dominate
the attachment labels. For example:
Consider tw o selectors Classification (Hierarchic) and Department (non-hierarchic) and an email
message containing two attachments labelled as Unmarked / Sales and Confidential /
Engineering. Whilst setting a message label of Confidential would address the Classification
values, there is no single Department value that can encompass both Sales and Engineering.
Similar difficulties can arise with Multiple selection list selectors if more values would be required than
are allow ed by the maximum number of values allowed.
In either of the above circumstances, the user should resolve the issue (e.g. modify the attachments, or
use the override check option if available).

Marking Library
Admin : Labelling Configurations  {configuration}  Marking Library
A Marking Format defines how selected labels are presented to end users. Each Marking Format defines
how to construct a Marking using any or all of the features below in an order defined by the Marking
Format:

 Fixed Text
 Label Elements from the selected label (Labelling Configuration, Policy and Selector Values).
 Hyperlinks
 Alternative Selector Value Names available as rendering qualifier to Label Element choice.
 Environment / Document Properties.

 Directory Attributes

 Rich text formatting.


Note: Saving a document as another type (e.g. Word --> TXT or EXCEL --> CSV prompts to indicate
that information w ill be lost. The Classifier label and marking information is one of the casualties of such
operations.
Rules that apply a Marking indicate the Marking Format to be used.
The following Marking Format actions are supported:

 Add a new Marking Format


 Properties (Marking Format) – (invoked by Add and Properties - includes the ability to Rename)
 Copy (Marking Format)
 Delete (Marking Format)

 Marking formats that are to be used for FLOT, LLOT, Portion Marking or email message Subject
markings should include clear delimiters around the entire marking so that Classifier can 'find' the
markings. For example:

See Recognising and Parsing Label Markings for further information.

 Using <whitespace> to separate marking elements can lead to unexpected effects and difficulties
w hen parsing labels. Additional control to avoid these issues is provided for Selector Elements
through the Text Display and Marking Selector options .

 You can define Marking Formats that span multiple lines. If you insert a 'new line' using
SHIFT+Enter, the Marking will NOT appear correctly in Microsoft Office Headers or Footers (it w ill be
correct in Outlook FLOT/LLOT). Use Enter (rather than SHIFT + Enter) to insert the 'newline' and the
Marking will appear correctly.

Add a New Marking Format will invoke this Properties (Marking Format) sequence.
You configure a Marking Format as follows:
 Select the Marking Library node and select the relevant Marking Format entry .
 Choose Properties . This presents a dialog w hich shows the current state.
 You can Rename a Marking Format simply by updating the Name field and saving the

 Select text or an insertion point and then apply a presentation effect using the Font options.
 Select the Alignment (Left, Right or Centre) from the Align Text options. Note that this
aligns the w hole format, not just a selected portion of the text.
 Set or unset the Use Selector colour values option. By default any colour value associated
w ith a Selector value w ill be used by the Marking Format even in a sequence that has the
font colour set. You can unset this option so that any colour associated w ith a selector value
is ignored w hen producing the Marking value.
 Set or unset the Use plain text style option. By default the text generated from a marking
format will always include formatting settings - even if you have not set any explicitly. A
plain text variant is inserted in contexts that do not support formatting. This setting has an
effect on the operation of Add a textbox on the header / footer (Word only) as described
under Add rules.
However, in some circumstances the formatting defined for an inserted marking may interfere w ith
formatting your site has set by other means. This option allow s you to direct Classifier to use the plain
text marking variant even though the context supports formatting. For Word and Excel any pre-defined
formatting in headers/footers is removed. For Pow erPoint any pre-defined formatting is applied to the
plain text variant of the marking. If you enable this option, Preview a Marking Format will only show the
plain text version.
Any formatting you have specified in the marking format definition is remembered regardless of w hether
this option is set or unset.
 Select a label element / environment property / document property that you have

 Select a label element and press DEL to delete it.
You can check the effects of your configuration by c licking the Preview a Marking Format button.
Once you finish amending the Format you save it by clicking OK (not available until you make a
change).
Note: The appearance of any marking should be checked in the target application(s) to ensure that the
end effect is suitable. For example, Word Watermarks apply auto-sizing and using a 'long' Marking
Format may be ineffective as some applications apply limits to the size of headers/footers (including
formatting control information). If limits are exceeded, Classifier first removes formatting information

before truncating the text.


Note: The following characters (i.e. \/:*?”<>|) should not be used in a Marking Format either in
Selector value names, or as part of the Marking Format text supplied. Usage of these characters may
result in unexpected presentation effects in the current or future versions of Classifier, E.g.
- All formatting is lost (colour, font and alignment) (Office applications).
- The Selector value does not appear in the applied marking (Outlook).
- Run time errors.

Marking Format - Date selector annotation

Marking Selector options

Admin : Labelling Configurations  {configuration}  Marking Library / {marking} 


Properties
Marking Selector Options allow you to define prefix and suffix text which only appears in the marking if
the selector has a value selected. This feature can be used to remove redundant <whitespace> in
markings and to facilitate parsing of (externally defined) label values in Label Locations.
Note: Prefix and Suffix must be defined for Text / Date picker / Date offset selectors included in a
Marking format that w ill be used to parse a text label (e.g. Externally defined label, FLOT, LLOT, Portion
Marking or Subject).
For Multiple selection selectors the Separator field is available allowing you to define text to separate
individual selector values.
Example 1 - Multiple selection separator with a prefix
An organisation's label configuration comprises two selectors - “Classification” and “Category”. Category
is an optional selector that might not be set by the user, and it allow s multiple values to be selected.
The site wants to mark documents as “My company - Classification {classification value} | Categories
[category value(s) separated by '/']”.
Much of this is easily achieved through the basic Marking Format mechanisms, but if no Category value
w as selected a marking of “My company - Classification {Classification value} | Categories []” could
result. The site may prefer for this to appear just as “My company - Classification {Classification
value}”.
The solution to this situation is to use Marking Options when configuring the Marking Format.
By defining Selector Formatting for the Category element with a prefix of “ | Categories [“; a separator
of "/" and a suffix of “]”, the fixed text is only included if a Category has values selected.
 Select the relevant element in the Marking Format Editor w indow to trigger display of the
Select label element dialog.
 Enter the Prefix and Suffix values you require – e.g. “[ Categories: “ and “ ]”

p154
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Marking Format - Marking options dialog


 Click OK and the parent edit dialog will be updated to reflect the change (e.g.
My Company Classification: {Classification} {Categories (/[Categories:/[slash]/])}
 Click Preview to show the effect of the changes made to the Marking Format. Click OK
 Depending on the number of Categories (1, 2 or 3) selected this would show:
My Company Classification: Public
My Company Classification: Public [Categories:One]
My Company Classification: Public [Categories:One/Three]
Example 2 - Multiple line display
You could check the New line after Prefix or Suffix. This would have the effect of placing items on
separate lines as per the example below:

Label preview - multiple lines


Note: Care should be taken when using the above feature to ensure that the desired effect occurs in all
places w here the marking format is used. For example:
- Visio does not support multiple line header/footer.
- Outlook Summary Marking does not handle multiple lines.
- Word Summary Marking cannot handle more than two lines.

Content Library
Admin : Labelling Configurations  {configuration}  Content Library
Note: Content Checking is supported by Email Classifier and Office Classifier (Word, Excel and
PowerPoint).
Note: Content checking of RMS protected items never yields a match as the content is not accessible.
The Configuration can define that checks should be applied when sending an email message or saving /
printing a document to ensure that the content (Subject/ Body/ attachments / document) does not
contain certain 'words'. The attachment types processed during email content checking are listed in
Appendix - Content Checking File Types Supported .
The operation of the search performed can be modified using a registry key setting described under
Matching algorithm control .
The Content Library consists of one or more (Search) Expressions which can be associated with one
or more site defined Matchers. Initially there are no Expressions or Matchers defined and selecting
the Content Library shows:

Content Library initial state


Each Expression has a unique (Expression) Name, and an 'expression' defining the how content will be
checked. See Defining Expressions for further details.
Note: Expressions can also be referenced from Conditions (see Properties (Condition)).
A Matcher defines an association between the content to be matched (as defined by the associated
Expressions) and a set of selector values, such that the identified content may be considered
"permitted" for the label set defined by the selector values, or alternatively that this content is never
permitted regardless of the label value.
Check content for this rules (Check rules) can then be defined which specify the Matcher(s) relevant
to the check, and the action to be taken if a Matcher is matched. The action defined by a Content Rule
is only triggered if the associated Content Matcher fails - that is an Expression matches some content,
and either the content is never allow ed, or the current label is not in the permitted set of selector
values. The Rule also allow s you to control the level of detail shown to the user when the Rule action is
triggered.
A description of the end user experience of Content checking can be found in Content Checking User
view.
Each Content Matcher has a unique Name and Description and should have one or more Expressions
associated, along with permitted Selector values (a portion of the label space) for which the matching

p165
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

content is allow ed. If a message contains content matching an Expression in the Matcher, then the
message label must be in the defined label set for the content check to pass.
Each Content Checker has a Match Type which is either ANY (the associated content will be
considered as identified if ANY of the Expressions defined matches), or ALL (the associated content will
be considered as identified only if ALL of the Expressions match).
The following actions are available depending upon whether Expressions or Matchers tab is selected
(also via the Content Library context menu):

 Add a new expression

 Add a new matcher

The following actions are available once a Matcher / Expression has been defined:
When the Expressions tab is selected:

Defining Expressions

Admin : Labelling Configurations  {configuration}  Content Library / [Expressions]  Add


a new expression
Each Expression defines a set of values which are to be compared against the contents of a message,
and the w ay in which the comparison is to be performed.

The comparison operates by comparing 'words', so if your expression is "apple and pie", applepie is one
w ord and w ill not match.
An expression might be a simple (case insensitive) comparison, or more complex.

Regular Expressions:

 Need to be enclosed in “##” … e.g. a regular expression to search for two numbers together would
have to be entered as “##[0-9][0-9]”, therefore, if your phrase to look for was ‘banana’ and 'two
numbers together' the search phrase to enter would be: banana AND “##[0-9][0-9]”

 Must match a single w hole word. For example, a search for "##app.*ie" would not find "apple pie".

 Characters that are not indexed as letters are not searchable even using regular expressions.

 The search index does not store information about line breaks. Searches that include beginning /
end of line regular expression criteria (^ and $) will not work.

 Particular care must be exercised including "And" or "Or" as text in an expression as these are
'operators' (see Reserved words below) and must be enclosed in quotes if you want them treated
as text. For example, an expression open and closed would match if the message contained both "
open" and "closed" within it. An expression open "and" closed would only match if the string "

p166
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

open and closed" appeared in the document - a similar effect can be achieved by enclosing the
w hole expression string in quotes - "open and closed".

 Noise words - such as "if" and "the" are ignored during comparisons.

 Reserved words - The following should not be used as "text" when defining expressions:
(comma), (period),?, =, *, %, #, ~, &, ~~, ##, contains, and, or, +, -, [, ], /, \ (esc)

Examples :

Expression Meaning

banana Will match if "banana" appears somewhere in the content.

apple and pear Will match if both "apple" and "pear" appear in the content.

apple and not pear Will match if "apple" appears but "pear" does not appear in the
content.

(apple and pear) or (banana and Will match if at least one of the combinations (apple and pear) or
orange) (banana + orange) appears in the content.

If a Matcher matches in any of the items (Subject, Body or attachment), a Content Check exception is
flagged and the current message label is checked against the Label criteria defined for the associated
Group. If the current label is covered by the label criteria then the check succeeds and the user is
unaware.
Further control over the matching algorithm is available as described in Matching algorithm control .

 If the current label is NOT in the defined label criteria, then the Warn/Prevent action is activated.

 If Warn or Prevent is set (as opposed to Audit only) then the user will be prompted:

Content Check - Policy Check.

 If the Show highlighted content matches option is checked in the rule, then the user also has

p174
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

the ability to scan the actual matches by clicking View:

 Clicking View will show further information. Select each location and the item contents (including
meta-data such as header / footer values) appears with matches highlighted.

 Next / Previous allow you to move up and dow n the selected location (attachment / document /
body).

Note: Highlighting of matches in PDF files is only possible if Adobe Reader / Adobe Acrobat in Edit >
Preferences > Search > Enable search highlights from external server is Enabled.

Content matches

Matching algorithm control

By default the matcher checks various aspects of the message (e.g. Subject, Body and attachments), is
case insensitive and includes document properties.
Two General Settings are provided that allow further control:

 Content checking - case sensitive .

 Content checking - skip document properties


Additional aspects of the algorithm can be controlled by setting an enumeration registry entry to be
established in one of the following locations (which are searched in the order shown):

 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Boldon James\Classifier

 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTW ARE\Policies\Boldon James\Classifier

 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Boldon James\Classifier

 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTW ARE\Boldon James\Classifier

 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTW ARE\Wow6432Node\Boldon James\Classifier (if running 32-bit


Classifier applications on a 64-bit machine)
Entry \ContentCheckFieldFlags
Only applicable if Classifier Content Checking is enabled.

Each Condition type supports specific options as described in Properties (Condition).


When defining a rule you can indicate w hether the rule applies Condition free, or subject to one or more
Conditions.

Scenarios:

1. A message containing recipients from both domains A and B should have X-header AB applied.
This can be achieved w ith a single condition (Message Recipient Domain condition w ith two entries)
and a single rule.
2. A message w ith a recipient from domain A or domain B should have an x-header A or B added.
This will require two conditions one for each domain, and two rules.
The fact that in this case there may be duplicate rules (at the same point in the rule tree) is handled
by the fact that the rule highest up the tree takes precedence (See Move rule up / down).

Add a new condition

Automatically elevate email label

Admin : Labelling Configurations  {configuration}  Configuration Settings / Classifier


Application Settings
Note: This setting is only applicable to Microsoft Outlook.
This setting can be Enabled to direct Classifier to try (w hen attaching a document) to automatically
raise the label on an email to encompass that document's label. If that automatic action cannot
complete (e.g. there is a clash of single selection list values), AND a Perform high-water mark check is
configured, then a further check is applied when the message is sent and the user involved in resolution
of any residual issues according to the Warn/Prevent setting in the rule.
If this setting is Enabled and a high-w ater mark check initially fails then the software will do the
following:

 For Hierarchic Selectors ( Single selection list) it will set the selector value to the highest value from
the message and the set of attachments and Pass the check.

 For informational Selectors (those with Include this Selector in Clearance Checks unset - Single
selection list and Multiple selection list) it will retain the message setting for the selector regardless
of any attachment values and Pass the check.

 For all other Selectors if a single value is available for the selector that will dominate the message
and attachment values for that selector, then the message label will be set to that value and the
check is Passed. If no such value is available, the check fails and the user will be notified of the
issue.
So a message labelled as "Confidential" with an attachment of "Confidential Sales" would have its label

p208

automatically changed to "Confidential Sales", but a message labelled as "Confidential Engineering" with
an attachment of "Confidential Sales" triggers the dialog described in Attachment Handling.
If this setting is Enabled, then the setting Allow manual upgrade when sending messages has no effect.

Label Dominance and Automatic Label Upgrade


When a Portion Mark is inserted, Office Classifier, where possible, automatically upgrades the current
label value to ensure that it dominates the Portion Mark being inserted as described in Label Dominance
.
Office Classifier only performs such label dominance checks at the time the Portion Mark is inserted. It
does not perform any more checking of the label against Portion Marks (e.g. on Label change or
document Save).
Office Classifier w ill make no change during dominance checking where the current label value contains
a value for a non-hierarchic element that is different to the value for that element in the Portion Mark.
For example: Label = Internal / Sales and Portion Mark = Internal / Support, then label would remain as
Internal / Sales w ith no user involvement.
Note: Single Selection list and Multiple selection list Selectors only take part in automatic upgrade of
Portion marks if they have Include this selector in clearance and attachment checks enabled.
Note: Email Classifier will correctly identify Portion Markings ONLY if the associated Marking Format has
delimiters around the entire marking format (e.g. [{Classification (Portion Mark)}]). See Properties
(Marking Format) for details on how to do this.
When a Portion Marking is inserted, Email Classifier, where possible, automatically upgrades the current

Note: This setting is only applicable to Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Project and Visio.
Note: The setting is only relevant if you are using Power Classifier or File Classifier.
This setting provides an additional level of control if File or Power Classifier is used to label Office
Classifier documents.
Under default operation if File Classifier or Pow er Classifier labels a document it will set a custom
property on Office Classifier documents to indicate that the Label may not match the document
markings. Office Classifier applications detect this custom property the next time the document is
opened and update all markings.
It is possible (particularly if using Pow er Classifier to label many files) that the label values applied
cause unexpected effects on the markings. This setting allow s you to suspend (on a per application
basis) the automatic updating of markings, providing more time to resolve marking issues.
Enabled - (Default) When a document is opened, the office application will react to the custom
property set by File or Power Classifier and refresh the document markings when the
document is opened, clearing the custom property.

p221
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Disabled - The Office application ignores the custom property when a document is opened. However,
actions such as Save and Print may still trigger an update of markings.

Single Click best match

Admin : Labelling Configurations  {configuration}  Configuration Settings / General


Settings
Note: This setting is only relevant if the current policy has Use Single Click with pre-defined labels
enabled.
Note: Not applicable to Classifier Mail Add-in or Mobile Classifier.
Disabled (Default) The action is that a Single Click button is only highlighted if its associated label
value exactly matches the currently selected label value.
Enabled The button w ith the best match (if any) to the current label value will be highlighted. This
best match is determined using the algorithm described below .
The objectives of the best match algorithm are that if a button is highlighted then all values assigned to
that button must appear in the current label, AND the only values that appear in the current label that
are not assigned to the button should be informational only. If there is more than one exact / best
match then only one button will be highlighted.
The Best match algorithm operates as follows:
If the current label exactly matches the label configured for a button, then that button is
highlighted.
If there is no exact match, then look for a button that:
o Matches all clearance relevant selector values in the current label (Note that 'no value
selected' is significant in this situation
AND
o For information only selectors [ones that do not have Include this selector in clearance
and attachment checks checked see below Edit values (Selectors)].
 Either the button has no value assigned for the selector
 OR
 The selector value assigned to the button exactly matches the value selected in the
label
Example:
Consider a configuration containing three selectors - Classification, Department and Project where the
Project is informational only, and the single click buttons below are defined:

Note: Not applicable to Classifier Mail Add-in or Mobile Classifier.
You may use this setting (applicable to all Classifier applications) to define a link to a location that will
display label related help information to the user.

 http://ww w .xyz.com is a well formed absolute URL, ww w.xyz.com is not.


It needs a scheme protocol specifier (http:// in this case) to be a well formed absolute URL.

 file://products/MS/MSDN%20CD-KEYs.txt is a well formed absolute URL, file://products/MS/MSDN


CD-KEYs.txt is not.
It needs proper encoding of special characters (such as the space) to be a well formed absolute
URL.
Please also note that at present Classifier only supports http://, https:// and file:// schemes for the

OWA access may mean that a defined link is not accessible due to external access controls (e.g.
additional authentication requirements).

Use Alternate Data Stream (ADS) for Visio files

Admin : Labelling Configurations  {configuration}  Configuration Settings / General


Settings
The Visio file plug-in used by Classifier applications requires the Visio application to be installed and
runs an instance of Visio w hen it is invoked. This is generally not sensible in 'File Classifier / Classifier
API / Power Classifier for Files' contexts, and so by default these applications do not process Visio files.
This setting can be used to direct File Classifier and Classifier API to maintain labels for Visio files in the
Alternate Data Stream.
Disabled (Default) The Alternate Data Stream (ADS) w ill not be used to hold a label value for Visio
files.
Enabled The Alternate Data Stream (ADS) will be used to hold a label value for Visio files.
Note: This setting takes precedence over the File Classifier Application Use Alternate Data Stream

Label Locations

Admin : Labelling Configurations  {configuration}  Configuration Settings / Label


Locations
Label Locations (Marking locations) allow s you to tell Classifier the (document and email/webmail)
properties that may contain label values that have not been established by Classifier (e.g. messages
arriving from another organisation), and to assign relative precedence to the different label locations. If
Classifier recognises its own Classifier Label property it always uses this as the label value for the
document or email.
Note: You do not have to configure any Label Locations, Classifier will just treat objects that have not
been labelled by Classifier as ‘unlabelled’.
Email and Document locations are managed by selecting Configuration Settings > Label Locations
and clicking Properties:

Label Locations
You can Add, Edit and Remove Label Locations by selecting the appropriate Add, Edit or Remove
button.
Clicking Add will insert a new row containing default settings which you can then Edit, which will
present a dialog allowing you to change the configured settings.

 For email locations the dialog is:

Locations
The following locations may be added and ordered:
Custom Document Property You may define multiple Custom Document Property entries each with
its own property name supplied in the Parameter field. If a custom
document property with that name is found its value will be assessed to
see whether a Label can be determined. Note that this feature is not
supported by Visio.
Document Property You may define multiple Document Property entries each with its own
property name supplied in the Parameter field (e.g. keywords). If a
document property with that name is found its value will be assessed to
see w hether a Label can be determined. A set of properties is available,
but not all properties are propagated (e.g. Comments is not saved in PDF
files.
Locations are searched in the order defined (use Up / Down to control the order) and the first configured
location found to contain a recognisable value is used to form the document label value.
A Marking Format must be supplied to be used to interpret any value found.
Note: Not all locations presented are supported by all applications. Check the product Release Note for
further information (e.g. AUTOCAD Classifier).

Supported mail label locations

Locations
Note: Classifier Mail Add-in 2013 only supports markings in Subject.
The following locations may be added and ordered:
First Line Of Text Classifier w ill assess the First line of text (FLOT) in the message body to see

Last Line Of Text Classifier w ill assess the Last line of text (LLOT) in the message body to see
w hether it contains a Label value. The Parameter field is not applicable.
Subject Classifier w ill assess the Subject (prefix and suffix) of the message to see
w hether it contains a Label value. The Parameter field is not applicable.
X-Header You may define multiple X-Header entries each having its own property name
(supplied as the Parameter value - i.e. your header location). If an SMTP header
with that name is found its value will be assessed to see whether a Label can be
determined.
Locations are searched in the order defined (use Up / Down to control the order) and the first configured
location found to contain a recognisable value is used to form the email/webmail message label value.
A Marking Format must be supplied to be used to interpret any value found.

Recognising and Parsing Label Markings

Admin : Labelling Configurations  {configuration}  Configuration Settings / Label


Locations
Note: Parsing of Markings in Label Locations can be problematic if some elements are optional, or if the
marking contains string selector values (date or text selectors). Setting Marking Selector options may
resolve matters.
Marking Recognition
Classifier needs to recognise and parse Markings in the following circumstances:

p250
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

 When a message or document is opened and there is no Classifier Label property (e.g. Classifier will
check any Label Locations defined to see whether there is a Marking present which can be used to
derive a Label Value.

 When replying / forwarding messages Classifier may need to:

o Recognise and remove any FLOT or LLOT on the original email and replace it w ith markings
matching the current label.
o Recognise and remove any Subject Prefix or Suffix on the original email and replace it by a
marking that matches the current label.
To facilitate marking recognition, Marking formats used for parsing must include clear unique delimiters
as part of the Marking Format definition (e.g. [marking]). In addition, string based selectors (Text entry,
Date picker and Date offset) need to have Prefix and Suffix defined (see Marking Selector options ).
Marking Parsing
Classifier takes a string that it believes contains a Marking (determined using Marking Recognition
above) and uses the designated Label Location Marking Format (working left to right) to determine a set
of Label values (from the available Selectors) that produces that Marking.
The parsing essentially breaks the Marking into chunks that are either text or a label element, and for
label elements tries to determine the Selector value. The process allows for label elements included in
the marking format that have no value, and it also allows for the use of Alternate Selector label values.
If the Marking contains an alternative value then the appropriate primary Selector value is adopted by
the object label. This mechanism can be used to provide a 'mapping' between external and internal
values. For example:
Consider an organisation XYZ that internally has a Classification value of "Confidential", but receives
messages from a collaborative organisation (ABC) that may store "Sensitive" in a X-Header (e.g. X-ABC-
Classification). It wishes to map Sensitive to Confidential internally. So:

 Define the Classification value Confidential to have an alternate value of Sensitive.

 Define a Marking Format "ABC Sensitivity" that just contains the Classification label element but
with the Alternate value selected.

 Define an X-Header Label Location X-ABC-Classification and associate the ABC Sensitivity
Marking Format.

Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Combined Label Locations


Admin : Labelling Configurations ? {configuration}Configuration Settings / Combined Label Locations

The Label Locations feature allow s you to tell Classifier the (document and email/webmail) properties
that may contain label values that have not been established by Classifier (e.g. messages arriving from
another organisation). If Classifier can derive a label from a label location it will assume that label for
the document/message. Once Classifier has derived a label from a label location via the Label Locations
feature, it doesn’t process any remaining Label Locations.
In some circumstances, label values from external sources may be contained in multiple properties.
Combined Label Locations allow s values found in multiple locations into a derived label.
Multiple ‘combined label locations’ can be created. Each ‘combined label location’ can be assigned a
Name and Description to describe its purpose. Within each ‘combined label location’ you define the
locations as per the ‘Label Locations’ feature.
For non-Classifier labelled content, Classifier w ill start with the first ‘Combined Label Location’ and try
and create a label using the configured locations. If a label can’t be derived, Classifier will then move
onto the next ‘Combined Label Location’, and so on. If a label can’t be derived from any ‘Combined
Label Location’, Classifier w ill process the standard Label Locations to see if it can derive a label.

POLICIES
Admin : Labelling Configurations {configuration}  Policies
The Label Configuration settings are made available to end-users through Classifier Policies. Each Policy
defines:

 Its Name and Description.

 The Policy Label UI presented (Selectors and Values available and how they appear to users of that
Policy), and presentation control through User Interface Definition.

 The Maximum number of labels to show (Recently used), Use Assisted Labelling and Use Single Click
w ith pre-defined labels features are available.

 The Policy Rules governing the application of Markings to Object Locations and the invocation of
“other” actions (e.g. applying RMS and S/MIME security).
One Classifier Policy can be used as the basis for a new policy through a ‘ Copy’ function.
Once you have defined a Policy it is published (as part of the configuration) to File store or to AD and
deployed to users using locally defined or group policy mechanisms. One Classifier Policy may be
associated w ith multiple Group Policies.
There must alw ays be at least one Policy defined. If your requirements are straightforward one Policy
may be sufficient with all users having the same capabilities. Additional Policies may be required if for
example, you want to limit the ability of some users to apply certain label Selectors / Values.
Access to all Policy Administration is through the Policies node under the Label Configuration. Selecting
this node show s a list of the current policies below the Policies node, and in the Policies summary
display to the right.
Policy administration actions appear under the following headings:

matching conditions attached to them.

Note: If the ‘User Selectable Default Classification ’ feature is enabled and a user has defined their own
default label, then the ‘User Selectable Default ’ will be used rather than any derived ‘Intelligent Default’

Using the Intelligent Default feature negates the need to duplicate policies where the only difference
betw een policies is the default label.

When deriving an Intelligent Default, a Classifier product will take the configured default label as the
starting point for the Intelligent Default. It w ill then determine which Default Labels have a matching
condition attached to them. These w ill be processed in turn, starting with the lowest priority, and the
values for each applied to the Intelligent Default label.

Note: As the matching Default Labels are processed, any existing values that are currently in the
Intelligent Default w ill be replaced even if the existing value dominates the value from the matching
Default Label

By defining appropriate conditions on labels in the Default Label section, you can configure different
default labels as required for your organisation. For example, you may wish to have a different
default label when a user in a ‘Finance’ group creates a new Excel w orkbook as opposed to when a
user in a ‘Marketing’ group creates a new PowerPoint presentation.

Use Single Click With Predefined Labels

The Use Single Click WIth Predefined Labels section will show you how to create a predefined
label.

Admin : Labelling Configurations {configuration}  Policies  {policy}  Properties


Note: This setting (on the Policy properties dialog) must be Enabled on a policy for the Single Click
configuration tab to be shown.

Note: Single Click and Assisted Labelling can be used together, but you will not be able to configure
Single Click until you have added at least one selector under the Connect Selectors Tab.

Note: Changing a policy name that has been deployed invalidates any instances of that name set
through Group Policy configuration. Changing the description will have no side effects.

If you set Use Single Click with pre-defined labels, an extra Tab appears in the central frame that gives
access to the Single Click configuration features (example below ). Similarly if you set Use Assisted
labelling, an extra tab (Connect Selectors) is added.

Where Possible Wrap Buttons After


Admin : Labelling Configurations {configuration}  Policies  {policy}  Properties
The Where Possible Wrap Buttons After allows you to control how Single selection list selectors are
presented if the Display selector values as buttons (Single selection list options ) is Enabled.

This value is only relevant if you have Enabled the Display selector values as buttons for one or
more Single selection list selectors or for a multi-selection list selector as described in Single selection
list options / Multiple selection list options .

The Classifier ribbon bar can accommodate a maximum of three rows of selector information. This
setting can be used to control how Classifier wraps these buttons within the Classifier Ribbon Bar.

If this value is not set (default), then Classifier will display the defined buttons for a selector on a single
row.
Each selector shown in the Ribbon Bar will start on a new row regardless of whether Display selector
values as buttons is Enabled or Disabled.
If there are more than three row s in total to appear in the Ribbon Bar (after wrapping), Classifier
reverts to the default (single row per selector) and the Classifier label

button is show n providing access to the Label selection dialog.

Standard Ribbon Bar re-sizing actions apply, so it is a site responsibility to check that the settings
configured are appropriate for the number of selectors and values to be displayed.

Examples of the effects of this can be found under Ribbon Bar examples, Label Selection dialog , Assisted
Labelling Operation and Tabs.

 Default - column allows you to specify zero, one or more default values for the selector by checking
/ unchecking the appropriate boxes.

 Use names from - allows you to specify w hich of the 'Names' configured for a selector (Name,
Portion, Alternate Name, Alternate 2 and Alternate 3) is presented to the user for this policy. By
default the Names configured are used. Classifier applications will then present the relevant value
from the selected Use names from property. If there is no value configured for that property, then
Classifier w ill use the Selector Name.

 Show value as allows you to specify how the selector will be presented. Two options are
supported:

 Text only - Only the caption will be presented

 Colour and text - The caption and background colour will be presented

 Display Style:

 Display selector values as buttons allows you to control how the selector values appear in the
Ribbon [if a Multiple- selection list selector is configured to appear in the Ribbon ( Selectors in
policy)].

 Display Values as a list allows you to control how the selector values appear in the ribbon [If a
multiple selection list selector is configures to appear in the ribbon ( Selectors in policy)].The
Properties (Policy) level setting Where possible wrap buttons after provides additional control.

 Non-Assisted Labelling policies , - For non-Assisted labelling policies, the Display selector
values as buttons setting is found by selecting <Policy> \ Set Selectors \ <Selector> and

p301

then choosing Edit selector options.

 Assisted Labelling Policies - For Assisted labelling policies Display selector values as buttons
should be set/unset for each instance of a single selection list selector in the Selector Sequence tree
(e.g. Select <Policy> \ Connect Selectors\ <Selector instance within the tree> and choose
Edit selector options). Setting the option via the Set selectors tab has no effect for Assisted
labelling policies.
Note: If Use Single Click with pre-defined labels is Enabled, then Use Single click with
pre-defined labels takes precedence (the Display selector values as buttons setting is
ignored).

 Disabled (default) - Selector values displayed in the Ribbon w ill appear as check boxes.

 Enabled - The selector values appear as buttons in the Ribbon. The Ribbon wrapping setting can be
used to control the presentation of the buttons within the Ribbon.

Selector Value Filtering


This feature allow s users to filter selector values. It provides an additional filter control that allow s
users to type in text that is used to filter the selector values in the list. This setting is available on Set
Selectors for non-assisted labelling policies and assisted labelling policies.

Note: This option needs to be set to on to allow users to filter selector values.

Note: Only applies to single selection list selector or a multi selection list selectors when the display
style is set to display values as a list.

The "Allow Users to filter selector values" option w hich allows users to filter selector values.

To filter a selector value:

1. Go to Labelling Configuration>(Configuration Name)>Policies>(Policy Name)>Set

Selectors in policy

Admin : Labelling Configurations {configuration} Policies {policy}/[Set


Selectors]/{selector}->Selectors in policy
When configuring a policy, you need to control the selectors that are relevant to the policy. This action
allows you to Add or Remove selectors to/from a policy, and configure whether they appear on the
Ribbon or the general Label Selection dialog; and whether the Label Selection dialog is configured to
present the selectors across a number of Tabs.
Other selectors defined in the selector library that relate to (for example) externally defined label
elements may still be recognised and displayed. See Retained for more detail.

To manage the Selectors in the policy:

1. Select the Policies node and select the relevant policy in the Policies tree. Select the Set
Selectors Tab.
2. Choose Selectors in policy which will display a list of Selectors that are currently included in /
excluded from the policy.

Selectors in Policy w ith Available selectors and Selectors in Policy (Selector Name, Tab, Ribbon and

3. Select the required Selector.


4. Click Add / Remove as appropriate. The Selector will be transferred to the other list.

Note: You cannot Remove a Selector from a policy if the policy has rules configured that

p306

refer to that Selector. In that circumstance the following dialog appears:

Remove Selector failure

5. The policy summary list will be updated to show the updated list of Selectors in the policy.
6. You can use the Ribbon and / or Tabs options to control how label selection appears to the user.

You can control w hich single selection, multiple selection or Date offset selectors configured in a policy
appear in the Ribbon Bar using the Ribbon setting on the Selectors in Policy dialog - subject to a
maximum of three such selectors.
All selectors will be available through the general Label Selection dialog which can be invoked through
the

Classifier Label button or dialog box launcher if Single Click operation is active.
Checking the Ribbon box for a selector means that it will appear in the Ribbon Bar as well as the
general label selection dialog.

selector order).
The example below shows the first (Single selection list) selector with Display selector values as
buttons option Enabled (Single selection list options ), the second (Single selection list) selector has
the option Disabled and that selector appears as a drop down selection list.

Select Label - all selectors

You may wish to 'group' the selectors to reflect their usage. This can be achieved using the Tabs facility.
You can define one or more Tabs, and configure the Name of the Tab, and then which selectors appear
on each Tab.

Note: If you allocate one selector to a Tab, you must allocate all selectors to one of the Tabs; failure to
do this will result in a warning.

Some selectors not allocated to a Tab

 Consider the Tabs you require and establish them as follow s:


 Select the policy. Choose Selectors in policy and click Tabs. to display the Tabs
configuration dialog:

 Set the name for the Tab (double click to get an edit dialog, and use New to add any
additional Tabs you require. The example shows three Tabs established:

Three tabs
 Click OK. You can now allocate the selectors to the available tabs by choosing the Tab for
each selector via the Tab drop dow n in the Selectors in policy dialog:

p309
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Configure Tab
 The policy summary view is modified to show the Tab / selectors relationship:

Policy summary - tabs configured


 Once you have configured the selector / tab mappings you can check the results using Label
Preview:

Tab selection interface


 The user can navigate betw een the tabs.
 The order that selectors appear in the tab is the same as the selector order defined using
Set selector order. Thus, the first and third selectors could appear on the First tab with the
second selector appearing on the second tab, but the First selector would always appear at
the top of the First Tab.
 You can set the order of the tabs using Move Up / Down.
 You can Delete Tabs if they do not have any selector in the policy assigned to them.

p310
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Assisted Labelling and Tabs


 You can use tabs with a policy that has Use Assisted Labelling set. Using Assisted Labelling
in conjunction with Tabs just means the operation involves showing / hiding tabs according
to whether they currently contain selectors of interest.
 Selecting a value for one selector can follow the usual Assisted Labelling mechanisms to
provide additional selectors and values on the same or a different Tab.
 In the example below the First tab contains a Nature (of information) selector w hich is
flagged as Mandatory, but has no default defined. Once the user has chosen a value for
this selector, a second Tab appears which can depend on the value chosen in the First Tab.

Nature mandatory

Second Tab added


 The second Tab indicates that it also contains a mandatory selector.
 No automatic sw itch of focus occurs even if another tab appears.

Retained
Admin : Labelling Configurations {configuration} Policies {policy}/[Set
Selectors]/{selector}->Selectors in policy -> Retained

You may configure Selectors that are not available in all policies. Any Selector that is not available in
a policy is a potential Retained Selector for that policy.
If an email message or document is received containing a Selector value that is recognised in the
selector library, the value is presented if the selector is included in a Marking Format, even if it is not
related to an Active selector. If you use an existing label containing such a (non-active) selector value
as the basis for a new object (e.g. Reply to a received email message) the label value will be dropped
from the new label.
There may be circumstances where the label value received has been established under a different
policy (different group of users) and this value is to be retained as the value in the 'reply to' or
'forward' circumstance. Classifier caters for This requirement can be catered for in Classifier by adding
a selector into a policy and then designating it as Retained, which will ensure that the source label
value is propagated to the new object.
Another scenario is if a selector is no longer to be included in an active capacity, but the selector
settings are to be retained in rules in the policy.
Your Marking Formats may include such Retained Selectors so that Summary Markings would still
show any defined value. By default non-Active selectors are NOT propagated to new Documents or
email messages. You can modify this behaviour as follow s:

Retained selectors in policy.


To mark a selector as Retained:

1. Ensure the relevant Selectors are defined in the Selector Library.


2. Include the Selectors in appropriate Marking Formats.
3. Select the Policies node and select the relevant policy in the Policies tree. Select the Set
Selectors Tab.
4. Choose Selectors in Policy. This will present a dialog show ing the Selectors that are in the Policy.

p312

5. Any selector that is not in use in the policy can be marked as being a ‘Retained’ selector by selecting
the appropriate checkbox.
6. Click OK to commit the changes.

Connect Selectors - Assisted Labelling

Admin : Labelling Configurations {configuration} Policies {policy}/[Connect Selectors]


Assisted Labelling allow s you to guide user selection of label values by limiting the choices of selectors
and / or selector values depending upon the value chosen for a preceding selector.
A policy is either an Assisted Labelling Policy or not as determined by whether the Use Assisted Labelling
option is checked on the policy Properties. If the option is checked then the Connect Selectors Tab
appears if the policy is selected; initially showing the root of the Selector sequence tree.
Note: Once a policy has been set as an Assisted Labelling policy it cannot be reverted to a standard
(Non-Assisted) Labelling policy.

p313
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Connect Selectors
All the standard policy management features apply, including defining the selectors and values that are
available in the policy (e.g. Selectors in policy and Edit Selector ). The only difference is that the
Connect Selectors Tab allows you to construct a dependency tree.
Note: Until you start to populate the Selector Sequence Tree, the effects of using the policy may be
indeterminate in terms of any label selection presented, default values and rule operation.
You start to build the Selector Sequence tree by adding one Selector at the root. This selector is the
user's first choice. You can limit the selector values available using Edit selector Options. The tree shows
Selectors and Selector values.
There are some fundamental constraints:

 The Selector Order defined in the Configuration is strictly enforced. Therefore if one branch of the
tree adds the third selector defined below a value for the first selector (essentially omitting the
second selector), the second selector cannot then be added further dow n.
 You cannot add a selector below a Multiple selection list value.
 Mandatory selector rules that demand a value for a selector that is not visible under certain
circumstances - should be avoided, because the associated rule w ill always fail.

 The default values defined in the policy selectors are ignored in the Assisted Label connected
selectors. Only default values configured in the connected selector are visible in the client.
The actions available for managing the Selector Sequence tree are:

 Add a selector

 Remove selector

 Edit selector options - includes the ability to set the default value for this branch of the tree.
The Assisted Labelling Examples topic describes some different uses of Assisted Labelling; the
associated configuration of the Selector Sequence tree and gives examples of the user experience.

Add a selector

Admin : Labelling Configurations {configuration} Policies {policy}/[Connect Selectors] ->


Add a selector
To Add a Selector into the Assisted Labelling Selector Sequence tree:
 Select the Policies node and select the relevant policy in the Policies tree. Select the
Connect Selectors Tab.
 Choose a node in the existing tree w here you want to add a Selector. This could be below
the Root, an existing Selector or an existing Selector Value.

 Select the appropriate selector and Click Add.
 The selector is added to the tree below the chosen node. In this example, Department has
been added below the Root.

p315
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Department added below Internal


Once the selector has been added, you may wish to configure the values available using Edit selector
options. Initially all values for a selector (in the policy) are assumed to be available.
Note: The default values defined in the policy selectors are ignored in the Assisted Label connected
selectors. Only default values configured in the connected selector are visible in the client.

To Remove a Selector from the Assisted Labelling Selector Sequence tree:
 Select the Policies node and select the relevant policy in the Policies tree. Select the
Connect Selectors Tab.
 Select the Selector that is to be removed.
 Choose Remove selector. A warning may be presented:

define the default value to be applied for this selector in that branch of the Selector Sequence tree.
Also see the Selector Library.

Note: The default values defined in the policy selectors are ignored in the Assisted Label connected
selectors. Only default values configured in the connected selector are visible in the client.

2. Select the Policies node and in the Policies tree, select the relevant policy.
3. Select the Connect Selectors Tab.
4. Select either the Selector or one value of the Selector whose values are to be edited. Select
either Single Select or Multi Select.
5. Choose Edit selector options. This will present the properties associated w ith the relevant
selector.

Edit selector options (multi select).

7. Select the Options tab, The options w ill vary with the type of selector.
8. Adjust the set of available values by checking/un-checking the appropriate boxes.
9. Set / unset the Default value as required. This default applies only to this branch of the tree.
10. Set the Use names from value to an attribute of the Selector. The default is to use the Name
attribute.
11. Display Style: Select the Display style ( Display values as buttons / Display values as a list ).
For Assisted labelling policies Display values as buttons should be set/unset for each instance of a
single selection list selector in the Selector Sequence tree (e.g. Select <Policy> \ Connect Selectors\
<Selector instance in the tree> and choose Edit selector options). Setting the option via the Set
selectors tab has no effect for Assisted labelling policies.

 Display values as buttons allows you to control how the selector values appear in the Ribbon bar
[if a Single selection list selector is configured to
appear in the Ribbon bar (Selectors in policy)]. The Properties (Policy) level setting Where possible
wrap buttons after provides additional control. Also see Multiple selection list. Single select
and Multi select selectors can select how values are displayed, Text, Colours and Text, Images and
Text, Check Boxes or Buttons.

 Display Values as a list allows you to control how the selector values appear in the ribbon bar [If
a multiple selection list selector is configures to appear in the ribbon bar ( Selectors in
policy)].The Properties (Policy) level setting Where possible wrap buttons after provides additional
control.

 Checked - The selector values w ill appear as buttons and the Properties (Policy) level setting Where

p319
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

possible wrap buttons after provides additional control.

 Unchecked - The selector values will appear as check boxes.

12. Checkboxes:

 Retain Selection if valid when parent selection changes (Set/unset) on each selector node in
the Connect Selectors tree. This setting has the following effect, by default (Disabled), if
the user changes the choice of a parent selector value, any choice of subordinate value(s) must be
made afresh. If the setting is Enabled then changing the choice of a parent value will
Retain any currently selected subordinate values that are available under the new
parent choice. Consider the scenario described in Example 1 - Categories with many Annotations :
The user could select Cat 3 + A1/A2. Subsequently selecting Cat 1 would by default (
Disabled) drop A1/A2, but enabling Retain Selection on the Annotation node below Cat 1
would remember A1.

 Always include this selector's values when the parent has multiple selections is only
applicable to Multiple selection selectors. Consider two multiple selection lists Make (a list of
manufacturers) and Models (a list of the models available for each manufacturer) established as
assisted labelling tree (Models below Make). The user selects Make A + models A1, A2 and A4,
and Make C w ith Models C5 and C8. Enabling the setting on each Model branch w ill ensure that the
label constructed w ill include all selected Makes and Models (Makes A + C / Models A1 + A2 + A4 +
C5 + C8).

 Allow users to filter selector values - Users can filter selector values.

Assisted Labelling examples

Admin : Labelling Configurations {configuration} Policies {policy}/[Connect Selectors]


This topic provides examples illustrating how Assisted Labelling might be used to simplify and / or direct
users' choice of labels. This is not an exhaustive list; the basic mechanisms can be used to provide a
variety of effects.
Each example is presented in a separate sub-topic.
The examples are:

 Example 1 - Categories with many Annotations

 Example 2 - An additional user choice if Category 2 is selected

 Example 3 - Separation of Personal and Corporate information

Example 1 - Categories with many Annotations

Admin : Labelling Configurations {configuration} Policies {policy}/[Connect Selectors]


Note: This example assumes only two selectors are present. However, the general mechanism can be
extended dow n to a third level. This may also involve more than three different selectors, subject to the
presence of no more than three selectors in any one branch. Thus not only are the selector values
configurable, based on a value selected at the parent selector level, but entirely different child selectors
may be configured as available for selection, depending on the choice at the parent selector level.
Consider an organisation that needs to label information with two selectors called Category and
Annotation.
There are several Category values, yet many Annotation values, but only certain combinations are valid.
If Assisted Labelling is not configured, the user would be presented with a long list of Annotation values
and have no guidance as to whether they had selected a valid combination, potentially leading to
frustration and labelling errors.
You can improve the user experience and reduce the incidence of mislabelling be implementing Assisted
Labelling along the following lines:
 Define all the Category values (e.g. Cat 1, Cat 2, .....)

p320
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

 Define all the Annotation values (e.g. A1, A2, A3, .....)
 Define the matrix of valid combinations:
Category Annotation

Cat 1 A1
A3

Cat 2 [Blank - indicating this category has no associated Annotations]

Cat 3 A1
A2
A4

... ...

 Configure the two Selectors ( Category and Annotation) and configure the full set of values
for each.
 Create a Policy and add both Selectors into the policy.
 [In preparation for Example 2, add a third selector Visual Markings with values Yes and
No, and add this into the Policy]
 Check that the Policy works and that the selectors and values are all available.
 Set Use assisted labelling on the policy.
 Select the policy, and select the Connect Selectors Tab.
 Select the Root node and choose Add a selector. Select Category and click Add.
 Expand the tree to show the Category values.
 Select Cat 1, choose Add a selector. Select Annotation and click Add. Repeat the process
for Cat 3, etc.
Note: Cat 2 is omitted from the preceding step as the table at the start indicates it has no
associated Annotation value.
 Under Cat 1 select Annotation and choose Edit selector options. Ensure that only the
appropriate Annotations ( A1 and A3) are selected (uncheck all others). Set a default if
appropriate.
 Repeat the process for the other Category values (Cat 3 etc).
 The example below shows how the tree would look for the Cat 1 /2/3:

The user experience is different under Microsoft Office and OWA as per the following:
Office Classifier

Initial state - no category selected


Selecting Cat 2 will not show the Annotation selector as there are no annotations defined for this
Category.

OWA Assisted Labelling initial state


Selecting a value extend the label selection according to the configuration. In the example below,
selecting General Business has made Annotation available for selection.

OWA Assisted Labelling General Business selected

Example 2 - An additional user choice if Category 2 is selected

Admin : Labelling Configurations {configuration} Policies {policy}/[Connect Selectors]

p323
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

This example assumes the previous example ( Example 1 Categories with many Annotations ) has been
configured as its starting point.
In the previous example, Cat 2 might have no annotations because it relates to externally consumable
information where the annotations would have no meaning. The organisation wishes to give users
further control if they select Cat 2 value over the applicability of Visible Markings (Header / Footer /
Flot etc.) to such information (documents and messages). Assisted Labelling allows you to define
different rules that only take effect based on a user choice.
This might be achieved as follow s using the Selector in the Configuration called Visual Markings with
two values (Yes and No).
 Select the Connect Selectors Tab. Expand the tree.
 Select the Cat 2 node and choose Add a selector. Select Visual Markings and click Add.
 Select Visual Markings in the tree and choose Edit selector options.
 Set the default value to Yes.

Visual Markings selector


 Define rules that only fire if Visual Markings = No and insert blank Visual Markings (a blank
Marking is one that generates no text).
The user experience is different under Microsoft Office and OWA as per the following:
Office Classifier

Initial state - no category selected

Selecting Cat 2 w ill show the Visual Markings selector with Yes and the default and No as the other
choice.

Example 3 - Separation of Personal and Corporate information

Admin : Labelling Configurations {configuration} Policies {policy}/[Connect Selectors]


In this example an organisation w ishes to have a clear distinction between Personal (e.g. users
arranging social activities using e-mail) information and Corporate information.
All Corporate information must be labelled with a Classification and Department, and rules are
defined to apply visual markings etc. Personal information is the responsibility of the individual who
must ensure that it does not contain corporate information. Personal information is marked simply with
PERSONAL - which can be checked by Firewalls etc.
This can be achieved as follows:
 Configure the three Selectors and their values - Nature (Personal and Corporate),
Classification (Public, Internal and Confidential) and Department (Sales, Finance and
Engineering).
 Create a Policy and add all three Selectors into the policy. Ensure that the order in the
policy is as listed above ( Set selector order).
 Check that the Policy works and that the selectors and values are all available.
 Set Use assisted labelling on the policy.
 Select the policy and select the Connect Selectors Tab.
 Select the Root node and choose Add a selector. Select Nature and click Add.
 Expand the tree to show the Nature values.
 Select Corporate, choose Add a selector. Select Classification and click Add.
 Re-select Corporate, choose Add a selector. Select Department and click Add.
 This will result in the following Selector Sequence tree:

Nature of Information

p326
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

 Both Classification and Department are immediately below Corporate which means that both
selectors will appear when Nature = Corporate.
 Select Nature and choose Edit selector options. Set the default to Corporate.
The user experience is different under Microsoft Office and OWA as per the following:
Office Classifier
Initially the Classifier label shows the default Nature = Corporate with the Classification and
Department selectors available for selection.

Nature set to Corporate


If the user switches to Nature = Personal, the Classification and Department selectors are removed.

Nature set to Personal

Suggested Classifications
Admin : Labelling Configurations {configuration}  Policies {policy}  [Suggested
Classifications]
Note: Suggested Classifications are only supported by Microsoft Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint,
Project and Visio applications.
This feature allow s you to define one or more Suggested Classifications for a policy. These can then be
referenced in Check for suggested classification rules such that when a document is saved or printed, or
a message is sent the Suggested Classifications are evaluated and the appropriate action is performed.
Each Suggested Classification has one or more Conditions defined (stored in the Condition Library), and
Selector settings that indicate either selector value(s) to be applied, and/or that a selector should be
cleared.
Note: Currently, suggested classifications are only triggered if you enable the ‘check for a suggested
classification and automatically apply’ rule. This change will allow the user trigger the Suggested
Classification manually by selecting a button from the Ribbon Bar or from w ithin the Labeller UI.

Note: If you run the suggested classification manually, the suggested label w ill automatically be
calculated and show n in the Policy Check dialog. If we fail to suggest a label, a message box would be
displayed to inform the user, e.g. "Document was set to the suggested classification" / "Unable to
determine a Classification for the document".

Note: If you as the Admin have enabled the original ‘check for a suggested classification’ rule and
this new manual option w as also enabled, then both w ill apply. So even if the user manually triggered
the suggest label, w hen they save, send or print the document, the rules will also be triggered, including
the ‘check for a suggested classification and automatically apply ’ rule.

Rules Management
Admin : Labelling Configurations {configuration}  Policies {policy}
Classifier uses Rules to control the operations performed by individual applications. Each rule applies to
a single application. It is only the effect of Rules that end users see; the Rule definitions are purely a
matter for Administrators.
Rules apply to a single Policy. If you need to support multiple policies using similar rules it may be
useful to establish the first Policy and then use the Copy (Policy) mechanism to establish initial rules for
the second Policy that may then be edited to achieve the required effects.
This section describes the general Rule administration mechanisms illustrated by a few specific
examples. The set of Rules supported varies across individual applications. The complete list of rules
supported by the various applications can be found in Rules supported. The rules supported fall into
three general types:

 Add rules which cause a Marking or Meta-data to be added to a message or document.

 Apply rules which apply a setting to a message or document.

 Check rules that check some aspect of site policy and involve the user if the policy is contravened.
The general Rule management topics available are (knowledge of these is assumed in the Rules
supported section and its sub-topics):

 What is a rule?

 Set Rules tab, which provides access to the Rules Management functions .

 Add a rule

p337
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

 Edit (Rule)

 Delete (Rule)

 Copy (Rule)

 Defining Label Conditions

 Rule Overlap Handling

Rules Management View

What is a Rule?

Admin : Labelling Configurations {configuration}  Policies {policy}


Each Rule definition comprises:
Name A name that is unique in the Labelling Configuration. This value may appear in audit
messages.
Application One of the applications that Classifier supports (Microsoft Excel, Outlook, Pow erPoint,
Project, Visio, Word, OWA or Notes etc.).
Label condition The Rules are organised as a tree which presents the rules as a hierarchy under nodes
(Always, No Label and Any Label nodes) w ith the most generally applicable rules at
the top (under Alw ays) and the most specific rules (in label value terms) towards the
bottom and right. This tree structure is explained fully under the Set Rules Tab.
Each rule is either label independent (Alw ays, No label, Any label), or label related and
appears as follows:

 Rule action and configurable settings

 With this label, Rule action and configurable settings

p338
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Each rule is application specific, but the administration interface allows you to create
(common) rules for multiple applications
Action This is the action to be performed by the application if the Label condition applies.
Actions may require additional configurable parameters (Rule Options) to define their
effects. Rules fall into three broad groups:

 Rules that add Visual or Meta data . These rules allow you to add a Marking to a
Location using a Marking Format to the existing information. E.g.
o Add a header here to any existing text in this format (documents)

o Add this x-header in this format


 Rules that apply settings to ensure particular effects are achieved involving
an application other than Classifier . E.g.
o Apply this RMS policy (various applications)
o Apply a delivery report request (Outlook)

 Rules that perform policy checks . These rules allow you to check various aspects
of a user's actions against your site policy, and to alert the user if the policy check
fails. E.g.
o Check these mandatory selectors. Warn user if check fails with this
message. (All applications)
o Check number of recipients does not exceed number . Warn user if check
fails with this message. (Outlook and OW A)
Rule options Zero, one or two Rule options that supply any variable aspects of the rule such as those
highlighted in the Action examples above.
Label value This defines the label value(s) to which the rule applies. When a rule is created you
choose at the outset whether it applies Always (i.e. regardless of the current label
value); when there is specifically No Label selected; to Any label (i.e. there is a label
value but specific settings are not relevant); or to a specific configurable label value .
Prerequisite conditions These are optional and are not applicable to OWA rules. Prerequisite
conditions may be defined such that the rule is only applicable if the prerequisite
conditions are satisfied. It is possible to define two rules for the same application at the
same point in the rules tree. This potential conflict is resolved by the rule highest up the
tree taking preference (see Rule Up / Down).
All Rules are managed through the Set Rules Tab which is available once you have selected the relevant
policy.
You can define multiple rules as described in Adding Rules. This may lead to situations where more than
one rule could apply to a single application and action. Classifier decides rule precedence as described
in Rule Overlap handling.
Note: New versions of Classifier Administration may provide 'new ' rules which although quite similar to
an existing rule, provide additional features in such a way that they must be treated as a brand new rule
that supersedes the existing rule type. In such circumstances, existing rules will continue to operate,
but cannot be edited through Classifier Administration. To take advantage of the new facilities you must
establish a brand new rule; modify the configuration to make use of that new rule, and deleted the
original rule.

p339
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Set Rules Tab

Admin : Labelling Configurations {configuration}  Policies {policy}/ [Set Rules]


Selecting the Set Rules tab shows all existing rules and provides access to all Rule management
functions (Add a rule, Edit (Rule), Delete (Rule) and Copy (Rule).
The Rules are organised as a tree which presents the rules as a hierarchy under nodes ( Always, No
Label and Any Label nodes) w ith the most generally applicable rules at the top (under Always) and
the most specific rules (in label value terms) tow ards the bottom and right.
When you create a rule, you choose at the outset where it resides in the tree by selecting a node from
the tree. The selected node can be one of the following:
Always A rule inserted here is applied regardless of the label value (includes No Label) unless
there is a more specific rule (lower down the tree) that takes precedence.
No Label The rule will only be applicable if there is no label value selected (all selectors are
blank). There are no rules associated with this node in the example below.
Any label There is a label value defined (it does not match a No label rule) but specific selector
values are not relevant.
A node below Any Label relating to a more specific Label value
(e.g. Classification = Public, Department = Any in the example below ). These nodes all
appear as an expandable tree structure under the Any Label node, reflecting the
Selectors and Values available in the Policy . The example below shows a rule "Outlook
Emails apply FLOT" under Alw ays and a more specific Rule to be applied only when
Classification is Public ("Outlook Emails apply FLOT a").

.
Rules tree
The top part of this display shows a tree structure view that presents all the current Rules.
The bottom part of the display show s a summary list of the Rules applicable to the node selected in the
top part. Selecting the Always node w ill show all the rules associated with that in the lower half of the
display.

p340
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

The Rules Triggered summary show s:


Application Excel, Outlook, Pow erPoint, Project, Visio, Word, OWA or Notes.
Name The name of the rule.
Rule option 1/2/3 Shows the value of the first / second / third rule parameters (if any). These will
contain Label values for rules having specific label conditions, or Format names
for example.
The following presentation features are available in the low er part:

 Sort according to column using a column heading option.


 Re-order the columns using drag and drop.
 Hovering over a cell in the display pops-up the full value of the cell.
 Filter the list by selecting the context menu in the column header and choosing the appropriate value
from the list presented. To revert to the full list select the All option from the head of the list.
Tip: You can expand / contract the entire rules tree by selecting a node in the labels tree (e.g. the
Always labels node) and pressing the Plus (+) or Minus (-) keys on the numeric key pad.

Add a rule

Admin : Labelling Configurations {configuration}  Policies {policy}/ [Set Rules] -> Add a
rule
Rules can only be added when the Set Rules Tab is selected. To define a new rule for a policy:
 Select the Policies node, and select the relevant policy.
 Select Set Rules Tab and select the relevant node in the Rules label tree.
 If you want to:
- Add a rule that applies regardless of whether a Label value is defined or not then select
Always.
- Add a rule that applies only if there is no label value then select No Label.
- Add a rule that applies if any label value is defined (not blank) then select Any label.
- Otherwise select a node corresponding to label value in the label tree . The example
below shows Classification selected, so adding a rule here would apply if there was any
Classification value selected.

p341
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Add a rule
 Choose Add a Rule. This will launch the Rule wizard which operates as described in Rules
Wizard operation. The wizard is aw are of whether you have chosen All Labels or a specific
label value and tailors its operation appropriately. Selecting a node in the Label structure
tree (e.g. Sensitivity = Confidential) and then selecting Add a rule with a specific label
value selected assumes that you want a rule dependent on that Label Value and adopts the
selected label value as the initial value for the Label condition. You may modify this during
the wizard sequence.
Note: Certain rule types (Label Change Check, Mandatory Selector Check, Selector Expiry
Check and Content Check) provide a setting (Allow multiple rules of this type) which
influences the duplicate rules checking.
 If you inadvertently add a duplicate rule at the same point in the rule tree, the w izard will
w arn you, but will establish the new rule. However, a rule with prerequisites defined is not a
duplicate of a rule without prerequisites defined. The following shows an example of a
duplicate rules dialog:

This topic describes how new rules can be added.
Note: The full set of Rule Templates supported by each of the various Classifier applications and all the
associated settings is defined in Rules supported.
 Invoking Add a Rule starts a wizard.
 You can go forward and backwards through the wizard ( Next / Back), or Cancel the
sequence at any time. Only if you click Finish at the end of the sequence will the changes
be finalised.
 A list of applications is presented (Outlook Emails, Outlook Web Emails, Word documents,
etc. depending upon your licence).

Choose Application
 Choose the application(s) to which this rule will apply.
 An Action choice screen is presented listing the Rule templates relevant to your chosen
application(s). If you select multiple applications, the list will only show those rules that are
common all the applications selected. If the list is empty, there are no rules common to the
chosen applications.
 By default the list show s all the rules relevant to your chosen applications. You can filter this
list to show only the Add, Apply or Check rules.
The example below shows the general layout of the dialog presented for Word:

 To set any configurable feature, click on the placeholder to launch the associated

p344
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

configuration dialog.
 If you are creating or modifying a rule that is Label value specific, the currently defined label
value is presented as one of these placeholders. Click on the current label value
placeholder to modify the label setting ( "Selector" = "Classification" in the example
above). This is described fully in Defining Label Conditions .
 Other examples of configurable features are Message Format names, Action choices,
S/MIME security level, RMS policy selection and W arning level configuration.
Note: The full set of Rule Templates supported by each of the various Classifier applications
and all the associated settings is defined in Rules supported.

Rule wizard – Choosing Format


You can if necessary establish a New Marking format using the New... button on the above
dialog.
 Prerequisite conditions may be defined (Step 4: at the bottom of the rule configuration
dialog) such that the rule is only applicable if the prerequisites are met. Selecting the
prerequisite placeholder (Initially There are no prerequisite conditions defined ) will present
the dialog below showing currently defined Conditions applicable to this application

Prerequisite Conditions
You can choose from the currently defined conditions, or click New to Add a new condition.
 Once you have finished making changes, select OK and the new rule is added to the Rule
tree.

Rule Icons

To edit a rule:

1. Select Labelling Configuration>(Configuration Name)>Policies>(Policy Name)>Set Rules


Tab.
2. Expand the Rules tree to display the relevant rule. Select the relevant Rule.

Edit a rule

3. Select Edit Rule. This will launch the Edit Rule dialog which operates as described in Rules Wizard
operation. The wizard is aw are of the rule you have selected and uses this to set initial values for
the rule.
4. You may change various aspects of the rule. You CANNOT move rules between the primary nodes
in the rule tree other than by a suitable copy / paste / rename sequence. You can modify a specific

p346
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

label condition as long as the change would not cause the rule to move between the primary nodes
in the tree.
5. Amend settings as required.
6. Once all changes have been made proceed to the end and click on the OK button.

Delete (Rule)

Admin : Labelling Configurations {configuration}  Policies {policy}/ [Set Rules] -> Delete
rule
Rules may be deleted at any time.
 Select the Policies node, and select the relevant policy. Select the Set Rules Tab.
 Expand the Rules tree to display the relevant rule. Select the relevant Rule.
 Choose Delete Rule.
 Click OK on the delete confirmation.
 The Rules tree is updated accordingly.

Copy (Rule)

Admin : Labelling Configurations {configuration}  Policies {policy}/ [Set Rules] -> Copy
rule
You can use an existing rule as the basis for a new rule. The new rule will be given a name derived from
the source Rule w ith a unique suffix, such as (1), added at the end.
The new rule will have configurable features added or removed to ensure it complies with the
destination in the rule tree. Thus you can copy a rule from below the No Label node and paste it below
a specific Label value. For example if the source is a "For emails..." rule and the destination is under a
specific label (e.g. Classification Selector) then the new rule will adopt the target Label value as its
starting point.
To use an existing Rule as a template for a new rule:
 Select the Policies node, and select the relevant policy. Select the Set Rules Tab.
 Select the relevant source Rule in the Rule tree (Outlook apply FLOT in the example below).

p347
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Copy Rule - Select Source


 Choose Copy Rule.
 Choose the target location for the rule (e.g. below Internal in the example above).
 Choose Paste Rule. This will insert a copy of the source rule into the selected location in
the rules tree.

p348
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Copy Rule - Pasted Copy


Note: If you attempt to copy a rule into a location that already has an instance of the same
rule you will be warned and requested to address the anomaly as per the screen shot below.
The copy will be inserted but you should take appropriate steps to rectify the situation.
 Select the copy (Outlook apply FLOT(1) in the example above) and edit it to match your
requirements, including Renaming the rule.
Note: Certain rule types (Label Change Check, Mandatory Selector Check, Selector Expiry
Check and Content Check) provide a setting (Allow multiple rules of this type) which
influences the duplicate rules checking.

Defining Label Conditions

p349
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Admin : Labelling Configurations {configuration}  Policies {policy}/ [Set Rules] -> Add a
rule or Edit rule
When you define a Rule that includes a label condition (e.g. “For documents with this label, add a
w atermark in this format”), the Rule Wizard presents you with a dialog (when you select the label
condition placeholder) that allow s you to define the label matching criteria for the available Selectors.
The initial Selections w ill reflect the location in the Rule tree that you chose to add the rule.

Rule wizard – Setting Label Condition


 Choose the criteria for each of the presented Selectors. The choices presented are:
<Any> Any valid value from the set of Values defined for this Selector. Blank (no
selection) would not match. Selecting <Any> results in the Selector name
appearing in the label condition.
Undefined Any valid selector value or <Blank>.
Value A specific value from the set of values available for the Selector. Selecting
a value results in the chosen Value appearing in the label condition.
Note: For Text entry and Date Picker selectors you use presence of a value in the rule
condition - the actual value is irrelevant.
Note: For Multiple selection list selectors you can only choose one value from those
available. You can of course define other (similar) rules that fire on other values of that
same selector. If several rule instances apply because more than one value has been
selected for that Multiple selection list, the Rule overlap handling algorithm applies.
 So choosing Classification = Public / Department = <Any> results in a label condition of
“Classification"="Public”, “Selector"="Department” being presented in the label
condition placeholder.
Note: If you change the Label condition in a rule, the rule position in the rule tree will change to reflect
the new settings.
Note: You cannot set a label condition where all selectors are set to Undefined; you should add the rule
directly under the Any Label node instead.

p350
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Rule overlap handling

Admin : Labelling Configurations {configuration}  Policies {policy}/ [Set Rules]


If there are multiple rules defined affecting a single application location, the rule having the “best
match” is actioned. The "best match" is determined using an algorithm which treats the last Selector
defined in the policy as being the most significant, and the first Selector defined in the policy as being
the least significant.
For many sites the Rules Tree contains a small number of rules affecting any one Marking location (e.g.
FLOT), and rule precedence can be determined visually based on the algorithm: "The rule associated
w ith the most important selector (towards the Bottom) in the tree wins unless there is a rule using a
more specific label value (tow ards the Right) for that selector".
Note: It is possible to have multiple similar rules defined below the same node in the rule tree. For
example, there might be tw o Add LLOT rules, one w ith a specific Condition associated (e.g. If External
recipient), and one with no associated Conditions. The Rule highest up the tree takes precedence. Use
the Move rule up / down actions to manage this precedence.
Rules are defined in the Rule tree below :

 Always
 No Label
 Any Label
 Further nodes under Any Label corresponding to the specific defined Label condition.
More than one rule affecting the same location may be defined in the overall Rule tree. Classifier uses
the following algorithm to determine the Rule to apply w here more than one rule might apply:
Always rules only apply if there is no other similar Rule that takes precedence, including < No label>
rules.
[A similar rule would be one that affects the same location (e.g. FLOT). Note that you could have
multiple rules applying for X-Header / document property etc. from different branches of the Rule tree
as long as they are for different X-Header / document property values].
No Label rules only apply if there is no label value selected. It is mutually exclusive with < Any Label>
rules, with <Label condition> rules, and with <Always> rules.
Any Label rules only apply if a label value has been selected and there is no other similar Rule with a
specific label condition that also applies – i.e. there is no other applicable rule further dow n the tree.
A <specific selector value > defined in a rule makes a 'better' match in the label matching algorithm
than <Any> that is in turn 'better' than a <Not Relevant>, that in turn is better than an <Always>
match.
For Multiple selection lists, the value at the head of the list is treated as the least significant and the
value at the bottom of the list is treated as the most significant. Consider a Multiple selection list having
three values V1, V2 and V3; and rules R1, R2 and R3 that apply Markings M1, M2 and M3 associated
w ith each of those selector values. If the user select values V1 + V3, there are two applicable rules (R1
and R3) - Classifier uses the list order to determine rule precedence (bottom of list is most significant)
and Rule R3 / M3 will be applied.
Example scenario:
Consider a scenario where you want three different FLOT Markings depending upon the label value:

 No Label - "This message has no label value defined".

 Label of [Confidential + any Department] - "CONFIDENTIAL / <Department> - HANDLING


CHECKS APPLY".

 All other label values - "<Classification> / <Department>".

1. Define the three Marking Formats.


2. Define three separate FLOT rules under the relevant nodes in the Rules tree ( No Label, Always
and Classification = Confidential ) assigning the appropriate Marking Format.
3. The code w ill apply the relevant Marking depending upon the label value selected.

p351
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

A more complex example of rule overlap handling is explored in the Appendix - Example of ‘Best
matching Rule’ algorithm .
Note: Duplicate rules are rules that affect the same application location AND have the same label
condition. Classifier Administration flags such duplicates at appropriate times, and you should address
such anomalies by removing one of the duplicate rules.
Note: Certain rule types (Label Change Check, Mandatory Selector Check, Selector Expiry Check and
Content Check) provide a setting (Allow multiple rules of this type) which influences the duplicate rules
checking.

Move rule up / down

Admin : Labelling Configurations {configuration}  Policies {policy}/ [Set Rules]


It is possible to have multiple similar rules defined for an application below the same node in the rule
tree. For example, there might be tw o Add LLOT rules, one w ith a specific Condition associated (e.g. If
External recipient), and one with no associated Conditions. The Rule highest up the tree takes
precedence.
Rules relating to a single application are grouped together below a node (Alw ays / Any Label / Label
value etc.)in the rules tree. Use the Move rule up / Move rule down actions to manage this
precedence by moving rules w ithin the group of rules applicable to an application.
 Select a rule in the rule tree
Note: The Move rule up / dow n actions will only be available if there is more than one rule
applicable to the application and there is a rule above ( Up is available) and/or there is a rule
below (Down is available).
 Select a rule in the rule tree and use the Up / Down actions to rearrange the rules.

Rules supported
Admin : Labelling Configurations {configuration}  Policies {policy}/ [Set Rules]
This section covers all the rules supported by Classifier applications. Rules are application specific but
may vary according to the Classifier policy in use. The Application Rule support table below shows
the rules presented for each application. Rules for an application are only available if the relevant
licence has been applied.
In the table below , x.y (e.g. 3.5) indicates a feature that is new in that version of Classifier
Administration. Application versions prior to that number do not support the feature (Classifier 1.3
(which preceded 3.4) is assumed as the baseline).
Note: Component release notes may document limitations that apply even if the table below indicates
support for a feature.
The rules are grouped into the rule categories (topics) show n in the table:

 Add rules - Rules that add a marking or meta-data to the document or message.

 Apply rules - Rules that apply a setting to a document or message.

 Check rules - Rules that check that the policy (as defined by these rules) is being follow ed.
You may define multiple instances of each type of rule and may set pre-requisite Conditions. Multiple
instances of a rule may be associated w ith a single label value as long as different conditions apply to
each rule (e.g. Insert a different FLOT if there is an attachment). Classifier determines which rule to
apply based on the ‘best fit’ between the run time label and the label values associated with the rule as
described in Rule Overlap Handling.
Details on the individual rules can be found by following the links above.

p352
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Add rules

Admin : Labelling Configurations {configuration}  Policies {policy}/ [Set Rules] -> Add a
rule or Edit rule
Office, Email, OWA, Mail Add-in, Notes and Mobile Classifier allow Markings and/or Metadata based on
the current label value to be applied to the current document / message. One common use is to
facilitate recognition by software and users that the email message is labelled, and the value of that
label.
Any Marking defined through these mechanisms overwrites any existing value in the same location
defined by any other means (e.g. the user).
Note: Any rich text formatting specified in a Format is ignored when used in a location that does not
support such features (e.g. Subject field).
Note: If your site uses Word templates to set Header/Footers etc. you may find that Insert Marking as
Field Code (Word only) is more appropriate for Word than some of the rules below .
Separate rules appear for each supported “Location”. For each Location rules are available in a general
(Add ...) or a Label specific (W ith this <Label>, add .....) form depending on whether you are adding
the rule as an Any label or a rule associated with a specific label value.

Add Header / Footer additional notes

Note: Office Classifier configures the Header/Footer as defined by the relevant rules, but it is the
Office application that applies the Header/Footer to the document. For example, configuring Word or
Excel rules to apply different First/Odd/Even page header/Footer will only have the desired effect if you
have also configure the document to use different First/Odd/Even page header/Footer.
Settings to Auto Enable Microsoft Office Header / Footer controls allows you to further automate control
over these features.
Note: Some applications apply limits to the size of headers/footers (including formatting control
information - font size, name and colour e.g. &"Arial,"&11&K00C000
UNMARKED&"Arial,"&11&K000000 EXTERNAL&"). If limits are exceeded, Classifier first removes
formatting information before truncating the text. Excel has a limit of 253 characters, Project has a limit
of 256 characters and Visio has a limit of 127 in each of Header/Footer Left/Right/Centre. Check that
the expected effects apply in each of your applications.
Notes for Word: Header/Footer markings cannot be added to 'form-filling' protected documents. For
documents protected in other ways Allow label change on protected documents may be relevant.
The Add a header / footer here rules allow you to defined w hether the Marking is merely inserted, or
replaces any pre-existing header / footer.
Notes for PowerPoint:
Headers - PowerPoint does not support application of headers to slides. Any Rules to apply headers will
only take effect on Notes produced by Pow erPoint.
Footers - In order to apply footers to PowerPoint presentations users must ensure that standard
PowerPoint footers are enabled on each slide via the slide masters layout.
If you need to apply formatting as gradient fill or colour to header or footer shapes, these should be
applied to the presentation using the slide master and not directly to the slide itself. Applying such
formatting directly to the header and footer may be lost if the label is changed (and not applied to the
slide master).
Copy/Paste considerations . This situation can become further confused if slides are pasted from another
presentation. Depending upon the Copy/Paste options selected (e.g. 'Use Destination Theme' or 'Keep
source formatting'), the source PPT Master/Slide settings can take effect in the target presentation.
Microsoft KB article KB913500 describes a scenario where headers and footers may become out of sync
w hen slides have been pasted from other presentations. The following link may also be useful -
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/innovateonoffice/thread/2085dcd1-6977-4bcb-9e74-7f
1f49a83d61/ .
Notes for Visio: Visio only supports plain text modifications to headers so any rich text features
defined in the Marking format are ignored.
You can view any plain text header you have applied via File / Print / Print Preview.
Visio does not support multiple line Headers / Footers. Only the first line defined by a Marking appears.
Notes for Project: Do not create headers or footers of 256 characters or more in Project as
COMException fatal errors are likely to occur.
Notes for CAD: AutoCAD and DraftSight support the Add a Header rule, but the header only appears
w hen the design is printed, and the location of the header is an application matter.
Notes for Excel: Headers/Footers may not be displayed in Excel even when Classifier is configured to
display headers/footers in Excel. This may be because you do not have a printer configured, or you do
not have a printer set as the default. Please refer to Microsoft KB article
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/172320/en-us .

Removable Visual Markings


Certain rules that apply visual markings can be configured to allow the user to remove them, or in the
case of Outlook to choose not to apply them. The administrator can configure on a per rule basis
w hether a marking can be suppressed by the user. If a marking can be suppressed, the display of the
relevant visual marking can be toggled on/off by a menu item under the Options menu in the Classifier
ribbon in the relevant Office application.

Note: If the ‘allow user to remove’ option is set to true then when a rule applies then the user can
choose to remove the marking from the Options menu (under Visual Markings).

Note: The user can then ‘restore the markings’ by re-checking the appropriate item under the Options ->
Visual Markings menu.

To add a rule that allow s user control over the display of the visual markings:

1. Go to Labelling Configuration>(Configuration Name)>Policies>(Policy Name)>Set Rules


Tab.
2. In the Actions column, select Add a rule. An Application Choice window will appear.

Select an application or asset to w hich the rule you select will apply.

Visual Markings Controlled by the User


A visual marking refers to content that is added to a document or message via an appropriate Classifier
rule, for example, text in a Word document header, or a subject prefix for Email messages. If a rule to
add a visual marking is applicable for the current application and label then the Classifier will add the
content. In some circumstances, it may be useful to allow the user to decide on whether the visual
marking should be present on a particular document or added to an email.

The Administrator can configure on a per rule basis whether the visual marking can be suppressed by
the user by setting the ‘Allow user to remove’ element of a visual marking rule.

If a document has visual markings whose display can be toggled by the user then they will be able to
remove/restore them via the ribbon.

The text for the menu items in the ribbon can be configured in the usual way by modifying the
appropriate default text in the `Menus` section of the User Interface Library.

Examples of FLOT

A FLOT (First Line of Text) label is inserted into the email or web email message when a Send operation
is performed. The FLOT displays a visual representation of the Label value to the recipient of the email
message.
The figures below show examples of a received email message containing a FLOT Marking.

Note: Ensure that all clients are configured to use the RMS policies you have deployed before trying
Office Classifier integration. If you can apply an RMS policy from Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint
manually then the Office Classifier integration features should function.
Note: A user may view their RMS permissions through the usual RMS View permissions action.
Note: If the configured RMS template can't be enabled for some reason, then the current action (e.g.
email message submission) is blocked.
Note: All RMS templates should allow programmatic access to email contents. Otherwise, issues may
arise when Outlook tries to reply to or forward a received message. For example, FLOT, LLOT and
Attachment block may not be as expected because the content of the message cannot be processed by
Classifier. [Check that the user has Access the message programmatically RMS permission set to
Yes.]
Note: Classifier Administration queries the AD RMS Service Configuration point specified in AD and
connects to the AD RMS management w eb service to query the list of templates. If the web service is

The following applies if you are using Azure RMS:
Classifier does not currently support Managed (Department) templates.
Classifier Administration and Email and Office Classifier need to know how to located the Azure RMS
templates.
1. Ascertain the required location using the Get-AadrmConfiguration PowerShell administration tool
and noting the value associated with LicensingExtranetDistributionPointUrl .

Get-AadrmConfiguration
2. Set the follow ing registry entry to enable Classifier Administration to find the policy values to be
presented when configuring an Apply RMS policy rule:

Note: You may subsequently edit the rule to change any of the settings (e.g. the marking format used).

Check these mandatory selectors

Admin : Labelling Configurations {configuration}  Policies {policy}/ [Set Rules] -> Add a
rule or Edit rule
This rule is applicable to all applications and can be used to define that checks should be applied to
ensure that the label chosen meets label validity criteria – in particular that any Selector set as
Mandatory has a value chosen.
Different rules can be defined for different applications. So a selector may be Mandatory for documents
(e.g. an archive annotation), but such a setting might be irrelevant to emails. You might also have a
label value related rule that requires a value for one Selector only if another Selector has a particular
value.
Note: For Outlook Emails only - see also for further information on the user experience when this rule
fires for an Outlook Show label dialog when Mandatory Label message.
Note: A single Check these mandatory selectors rule may be defined for SharePoint which will apply
to all document types. See SharePoint Classifier Guide / Viewing and Changing Label Value after
upload section for usage.
Note: The operation of this rule is limited under CAD Classifier for DraftSight . If a rule triggers, a
w arning is presented to the user, but the action cannot be cancelled regardless of the buttons visible.
The rule has the form:
Check these mandatory selectors . Warn user if check fails with this message
 Perform the operations common to all rules as described in Check rules (a) (Select policy,
Set rules tab, etc).
 Select these mandatory selectors, which will present you with a dialog showing all the
active Selectors available in the policy.

p379
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Define Mandatory Selectors


 For each Selector choose Mandatory or Optional as required.
 Set / unset Allow multiple rules of this type . By default (Disabled), Classifier
Administration will detect duplicate rules of this type and only action 'the first' in the rules
tree. Enabling this setting means that Classifier w ill action each of the 'duplicate' rules in
turn - which may of course lead to multiple policy check dialogs.
Note: Each potentially duplicate rule must have the setting enabled, otherwise duplicates
are not allowed.
 Assign the required Warn user and this message settings as described in Warn / Prevent /
Audit / Challenge options for Check rules .
 Click OK and Next on the edit template screen and complete the wizard sequence by
supplying a name for the rule.

Check for Author label change

Admin : Labelling Configurations {configuration}  Policies {policy}/ [Set Rules] -> Add a
rule or Edit rule
The rule is only applicable to Office Classifier applications and allows you to define label change abilities
specific to the 'Author' w hich apply instead of the abilities defined via a general Check for label change
rule. If no Check for Author label change rule is applicable, then the Author will be subject to any
general Check for label change rule defined.
Note: For the purposes of this rule the 'Author' is not the Microsoft Office Author which is easily
changed by the user, but is a value stored in a Classifier specific manner in a bj-Saver custom property.
This property holds the identity of the first person to save the document. All documents, new, old,
unlabelled and labelled have the bj-Saver property set on them when they are first changed (saved) and
there is not an existing bj-Saver property present. If an existing document is opened which does not
have a bj-Saver value, the current user's identity will be used to populate bj-Saver. Deletion of the
bj-Saver value is possible. [For Visio documents bj-saver is stored as a 'Solution XML Element', rather
than a document custom property]
Note: If both a Check for Author Label Change rule and a general Check for Label Change rule are
configured, then the Check for Author Label Change rule will apply if the current user is the 'Author',
otherwise the general Check for Label Change rule will apply.
Note: The operation of this rule is limited under CAD Classifier for DraftSight . If a rule triggers, a
w arning is presented to the user, but the action cannot be cancelled regardless of the buttons visible.
The rule has the form:

p380
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Check for author label change and permit alteration. Warn user if check fails with this
message
 Perform the operations common to all rules as described in Check rules (a) (Select policy,
Set rules tab, etc).
 Select the alteration token which will present you w ith the following per-selector choices :

Label Change Check Options

Permitted Change Description


Any change is the default and means that the user may make any change to
this selector value but the rule is not triggered. Rule success
auditing still occurs.
No change means that no change is permitted and therefore any change to the
label value for this selector triggers the rule and perform the
prevent / warn / audit action.
Downgrade only appears for Hierarchic selectors, and means that the user is
permitted to dow ngrade the value of a hierarchic selector, any
attempt to raise the value (e.g. from Public to Internal) triggers the
rule and perform the prevent / w arn / audit action.
Upgrade only appears for Hierarchic selectors, and means that the user is
permitted to upgrade the value of a hierarchic selector, any attempt
to lower the value (e.g. from Internal to Public) triggers the rule
and perform the prevent / w arn / audit action.

Additional Values only appears for Multiple selection list selectors indicating that the
user may add additional values, but may not remove any existing
values set.

Removing values only appears for Multiple selection list selectors indicating that the
user may remove values, but may not add additional values.

Increase Date only appears for Date picker or Date offset selectors, indicating that
the user can set a date / choose a new offset that results in a date
later than any currently applied date

Decrease Date only appears for Date picker or Date offset selectors, indicating that
the user can set a date / choose a new offset that results in a date
earlier than any currently applied date.

Note: The upgrade dow ngrade check feature is only applicable if you have designated a

p381
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Selector available in the Policy to be Hierarchic (see Properties (Selector values) Hierarchy
Setting).
Note: If the Microsoft Office auto save feature is enabled in any of the applications, the
user warning messages may be displayed when the auto save feature executes.
 Set / unset Allow multiple rules of this type . By default (Disabled), Classifier
Administration will detect duplicate rules of this type and only action 'the first' in the rules
tree. Enabling this setting means that Classifier w ill action each of the 'duplicate' rules in
turn - which may of course lead to multiple policy check dialogs.
Note: Each potentially duplicate rule must have the setting enabled, otherwise duplicates
are not allowed. Assign the required Warn user and this message settings as described in
Warn / Prevent / Audit / Challenge options for Check rules .
 Click OK and Next on the edit template screen and complete the wizard sequence by
supplying a name for the rule.

Check for label change

Admin : Labelling Configurations {configuration}  Policies {policy}/ [Set Rules] -> Add a
rule or Edit rule
This rule is applicable to all applications.
Note: A single Check for label change rule may be defined for SharePoint. However, SharePoint
Classifier limits the scope for label changing. See SharePoint Classifier Guide / Viewing and
Changing Label Value after upload section for further details.
Note: The operation of this rule is limited under CAD Classifier for DraftSight . If a rule triggers, a
w arning is presented to the user, but the action cannot be cancelled regardless of the buttons visible.
Note: Mail Add-in only supports this rule w hen forwarding or replying to a message item (not for
meeting requests etc).
The rule can be used to limit user's ability to change labels:

 To change labels on existing documents – that is if they open an existing document that is labelled
any changes to the label are policed according to this rule.

 To limit the user's ability to change labels if using Sent or Received email or web email messages as
the basis for a new email message. Thus the option affects Reply to / Forw arding and Re-send
actions and limits the user’s ability to manipulate the label for the new email message (which uses
the label from the existing email message as its initial label value).
Note: If both a Check for Author Label Change rule and a general Check for Label Change rule are
configured, then the Check for Author Label Change rule will apply if the current user is the 'Author',
otherwise the general Check for Label Change rule will apply.
The rule has the form:
Check for label change and permit alteration. Warn user if check fails with this message
 Perform the operations common to all rules as described in Check rules (a) (Select policy,
Set rules tab, etc).
 Select the alteration token which will present you w ith the following per-selector choices :

Label Change Check Options


Any change is the default and means that the user may make any change to this selector
value but the rule is not triggered. Rule success auditing will still occur.
No change means that no change is permitted and therefore any change to the label value
for this selector w ill trigger the rule and perform the prevent / warn / audit action.
Downgrade will only appear for Hierarchic selectors, and means that the user is permitted
to dow ngrade the value of a hierarchic selector, any attempt to raise the value (e.g. from
Public to Internal) w ill trigger the rule and perform the prevent / warn / audit action.
Note: Mobile Classifier w ill treat the Downgrade setting the same as Any change.
Upgrade will only appear for Hierarchic selectors, and means that the user is permitted to
upgrade the value of a hierarchic selector, any attempt to lower the value (e.g. from
Internal to Public) w ill trigger the rule and perform the prevent / warn / audit action.
Note: Mobile Classifier w ill treat the Upgrade setting the same as Any change.
Additional Values will only appear for Multiple selection list selectors indicating that the
user may add additional values, but may not remove any existing values set.
Removing values will only appear for Multiple selection list selectors indicating that the

Check for the high-water mark

Admin : Labelling Configurations {configuration}  Policies {policy}/ [Set Rules] -> Add a
rule or Edit rule
Note: This rule is only applicable to Email, OWA and Notes Classifier.
This rule can be configured to apply checks when sending an email or w eb email message to ensure that
the email message Label ‘dominates’ labels associated with any attachments (including attached email
messages, and documents in .ZIP files). The checks are limited to attachment types supported by
Classifier (see Appendix - Label Propagation Mechanisms ).
Examples of the end user experience when these rules are triggered can be found in Attachment
Handling.
Note: Saving as PDF: You can populate various standard document properties ( Title, Author,
Subject and Keywords) that will be propagated if you save an Office document as PDF. However,
Office applications do NOT propagate any Custom Properties to the PDF. In particular the
bjDocumentSecurityLabel is NOT propagated. Email, OW A and Notes Classifier will check defined
Label Locations for recognisable labels in standard PDF file properties for the Check for the
high-water mark and Add an attachment list rules.
Note: For Outlook Emails, the operation of this check is modified if Automatically Elevate email label is
Enabled. If the label can be elevated automatically to dominate all attachments ( Label Dominance), the
user will not be involved in the operation regardless of the rule settings.
Due to the nature of the OWA and Notes environments it is not possible to support an equivalent to the
Automatically elevate email label feature. In some unusual circumstances this can give rise to different
user experiences as described in User experience variance betw een Email, OWA and Notes.
The rule has the form:
Check for the high-w ater mark of all attachments. Warn user if check fails with this message
 Perform the operations common to all rules as described in Check rules (a) (Select policy,
Set rules tab, etc).
 There are no rule specific settings applicable to these rules.
 Assign the required Warn user and this message settings as described in Warn / Prevent /
Audit / Challenge options for Check rules .
 Click OK and Next on the edit template screen and complete the wizard sequence by
supplying a name for the rule.
Note: A High-water mark check including Visio attachments requires that Visio is installed for the check
to complete successfully. If Visio is not installed, a prompt may appear to install Visio. The same
consideration applies to Visio files inside a ZIP. OWA does not support High-w ater mark checks for Visio
files.
Note: Embedded images may be excluded from these checks using the Include embedded images when
performing attachment checks setting.

Attachment Handling

Admin : Labelling Configurations {configuration}  Policies {policy}/ [Set Rules] -> Add a
rule or Edit rule
Note: Opening attachments from emails and then attempting to change the Label is not recommended
because this can lead to Email Classifier only seeing the original attachment. It is strongly
recommended to save the attachment first, amend it, and then re-attach it.
Note: OWA Classifier does not support checking of Labels on Visio files since it requires that the
application is installed on the server.
Note: Images pasted into a message (e.g. using a 'Snipping tool') appear as an unlabelled attachment
but with no meaningful name (file type) and as a consequence these are ignored by high-water mark
checks.
Note: ADS (Additional Data Stream) - Email Classifier (Outlook) can access label values stored in ADS
for an attachment (e.g. as might be set on a text file by File Classifier), and use that value as part of
high-water mark checks. Any value found is then stored w ith the attachment and is available for use in a

p384
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

subsequent Forw ard action. However:


- Saving any attachment w ill NOT preserve ADS information.
- Attaching a file using drag and drop will NOT preserve ADS information.

Selecting an ADS labelled item in explorer and then invoking Send to w ill NOT provide access to the
label value.
Email, OWA and Notes Classifier can be configured to take account of the label values of attachments
w hen performing high-w ater mark checks w hen sending an email, web or Notes email. Further details
on how Email, OWA and Notes Classifier try to determine a label value for various file types can be
found in Appendix - Label Propagation Mechanisms .
Note: By default documents embedded in Office documents will be ignored when performing high-water
mark checks. This behaviour can be modified using the HW MCheckEmbeddedOfficeDocuments registry
setting (see Client Configuration Registry settings ).
Note: Outlook - You can control how embedded images are handled using the Include embedded
images when performing attachment checks setting.
The checks are intended to ensure the Email label dominates any attachment labels (see Label
Dominance).
If the high-water mark check fails and the setting Automatically elevate email label (Outlook Emails
only) is set then the software will try to apply a label that allows the check to pass (Least upper
bound).
If this setting is not Enabled, or the software cannot automatically rectify the problem, then the sender
is presented w ith a dialog (examples below) presenting the possible actions as permitted by the Allow /
Warn settings in the Check for the high-water mark rule.
Note: OWA and Notes Classifier do not support Automatically elevate email label, nor Ensure label
dominates all portion markings. In some circumstances this can give rise to different user experiences
as described in User experience variance betw een Email, OWA and Notes.
Zipped Files Handling
It is possible to send an email or web email message containing a compressed zipped file. These
compressed zipped files may contain labelled items. Upon sending an email message containing zipped
files as an attachment, Email, OWA and Notes Classifier will attempt to de-compress these zip files and
check the contents for any Classifier labelled items (e.g. Word, Excel or PowerPoint document) include
their labels in the high-w ater mark checks.
Attempts to access encrypted .ZIP files triggers a high-water mark check failure if the setting Warn if file
contents cannot be accessed is Enabled. If the setting is disabled, failures are ignored by the check.
Similarly failure to access a file w ithin a ZIP file triggers a warning depending upon the setting.
Note: Email, OWA and Notes Classifier impose no limit on the nesting levels in a ZIP file, but have only
been tested to de-compress to a nesting level of 7.
High-water mark check failure user interface
If high-water mark checks are applied, then Classifier performs the necessary checks and presents a
dialog should one or more attachments fail the checks. The failing attachments are listed (under details)
along with a reason for failure (either the attachment label value, or "Failed to access archive"). If Allow
manual upgrade when sending messages is Enabled AND a high-water mark label can be derived

OWA Attachment Check


Note: OWA Classifier does not support the Automatically elevate email label setting supported by Email
Classifier. This is because the nature of OWA Classifier architecture means that there is no means of
informing the user of any actions taken.

User experience variance between Email, OWA and Notes

Admin : Labelling Configurations {configuration}  Policies {policy}/ [Set Rules] -> Add a

Email Classifier (Outlook) supports two settings that OWA Classifier and Notes Classifier do not:

 Automatically elevate email label

 Ensure label dominates all portion markings

p386
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

If these settings are enabled, the user experience of an apparently similar sequence may be different as
outlined in the following examples:
A With a high-water mark check configured and Automatically elevate email label enabled:
Draft a message and attach a document w ith a label value 'above' the label set on the
message; then click Send.
o Under Outlook the Automatically elevate email label setting w ill come into play and,
assuming that the document label is suitable, the message label w ill be raised automatically
and message submission can proceed w ithout user involvement.
o Under OW A and Notes the high-water mark check will be triggered and the user w ill be
asked to resolve the mismatch.
B With high-water mark and label change checks configured, and with Automatically elevate
email label, Ensure label dominates all portion markings and Portion Marking enabled
for Outlook:
Define a rule to add to Subject as a marking prefix (e.g. a parsable marking such as [RES] for
Restricted),
Reply to a message that contains a 'high' label value in its Subject prefix (e.g. [RES]),
Change the label on the (reply) message to a 'lower' level (e.g. Public)
Click Send.
o Under Outlook, the Ensure label dominates all portion markings setting w ill cause [RES] in
the received Subject to activate the Automatically elevate email label action to reset the
label to [RES] and the submission proceeds w ithout user involvement.
o Under OW A and Notes the label change rule w ill be triggered A
( utomatically elevate
email label and Portion Marking are not supported) and the user is asked to resolve the
issue.

Check clearance for attachments, recipients or originator

Admin : Labelling Configurations {configuration}  Policies {policy}/ [Set Rules] -> Add a
rule or Edit rule
Note: Notes Classifier only supports domain based recipient clearance checks.
Note: Mobile Classifier only supports domain based recipient clearance checks, and does NOT support
Originator clearance checks.
Note: Mail Add-in does not support Check clearance for originator. Check clearance for recipients /
attachments only supports SMTP domain clearance checks.
These rules can be used if your configuration has Clearance features configured (see Clearance settings
). You can configure rules to check the clearance of the Originator, or Recipients or both. These checks
are performed when a message is sent.
Definition of these rules is straightforward and described below. Implementation of the checking process
and related Classifier configuration settings is described in Perform Clearance Checks when sending
messages.
Note: When Recipient Checks are performed, then the membership of any distribution group (DG) is
also checked (not Notes).
Note: Outlook Emails only - If a member of a DG is ‘removed’ as part of the Remove action then the DG
is replaced by the expanded set of ‘cleared’ members prior to submission.
Note: Attachment clearance checks check that the recipient clearance (how ever derived) allows each
individual attachment to be sent, as opposed to a High-water mark check which calculates the
high-water mark across all the attachments and the message label before performing a recipient
clearance check.
Note: Embedded images may be excluded from these checks using the Include embedded images when
performing attachment checks setting.
Note: Recipient clearance check is not supported for tasks.
These rules have the form:

Check for a Suggested Classification

Admin : Labelling Configurations {configuration}  Policies {policy}/ [Set Rules] -> Add a
rule or Edit rule
Note: This rule is only applicable to EMail Classifier, Word, Excel, Pow erPoint, Project and Visio.
This rule might be used to check aspects of the document/message (as defined by the associated
conditions) and to suggest modifications to the current Classification according to the Classification
Settings defined by Edit Classification.

Suggested Classification Processing


All Suggested Classifications defined for the policy are checked. If the conditions associated with a
Suggested Classification are met then that Suggested classification is applicable.

The set of applicable Suggested Classifications is then checked as follows:

 If one applicable Suggested Classification sets a value for a selector and another applicable
Suggested Classification Clears that selector then Classifier stops the process and the defined
Warn action is invoked using the 'cannot be applied' message.

 If one or more Suggested Classifications are applicable, Classifier will attempt to apply each of the
applicable Classification settings. Classifier uses its high-water mark algorithm to determine whether

p395
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

a defined selector value should be applied. It then takes notice of any Clear setting(s).
Note: This rule is applied before the Check mandatory selector rule, so the option to Clear a
selector value should be used with care.

 If the Suggested Classification includes a setting that cannot be applied to the current Classification
(e.g. set a value for a single selection non-hierarchic selector that already has a different value
defined), then Classifier stops the process and the defined Warn action is invoked with the 'cannot
be applied' message.

 If all the applicable Suggested Classifications are successfully processed and the resulting
Classification is different to the original Classification then the Automatically/Manually apply
setting is invoked. That is:
Manually apply - the user is warned using the 'suggested classification available' message.
Automatically apply - any suggested classifications that are designated as Automatically apply if
possible will be automatically applied (if possible) with any unprocessed suggested classification
being flagged to the user using the 'suggested classification available' message.

The rule has the form:


Check for a suggested classification and Automatically apply. Warn the user with this
message if a suggested classification is available for manual application, or this message if the
suggested classification cannot be applied.
 Perform the operations common to all rules as described in Check rules (a) (Select policy,

CLEARANCE SETTINGS
Admin : Labelling Configurations {configuration}  Clearance Settings
Note: Clearance Settings are only relevant if your site has decided to implement the Classifier
Clearance handling features.
The Clearance Settings nodes are hidden until the associated setting ( Application Settings) is Enabled.

Clearance Settings
If the Clearance settings nodes (e.g. Email Domains) do not appear then:
 Open Global Settings/Application Settings .
 Set Clearance Check email domains to Enabled if required (to allow you to configure
and use Email Domain clearances) .
 Set Clearance check Library to Enabled if required (to allow you to define clearances for
use w ith SharePoint Classifier).
 Set Dynamic Clearances to Enabled if required (to allow you to define Dynamic
Clearances)
The features supported are summarised as:
Email Domains This allows you to apply checks to messages destined for external email
domains. The clearances defined can be used by Email, OWA or Notes
Classifier, in conjunction with rules, to ensure that labelled messages are
not sent to recipients that do not have the necessary Clearance.
Clearance Library This allows you to define Clearance definitions which can then be used by
Classifier SharePoint (2016) to apply clearance based control over the
items that can be inserted into a SharePoint (2016) library.
Dynamic Clearances This allows you to define recipient Clearances derived at run time from an
items Active Directory attributes (User / Contact or Exchange Distribution
Group).
Note: For New Classifier Configurations, Dynamic Clearances are Enabled by default - although no
Dynamic Clearances are defined and therefore there is no effect.
The performance of clearance checks is controlled by the relevant application Check clearance for
attachments / recipients / originator rules. Operation of these rules and the effects of associated

p404

configuration settings is described in Perform Clearance Checks when sending messages .


The end user experience when these rules are triggered is described in Check

experience when these checks are triggered.]
The Configuration can use the policy rules:

 Check clearance for attachments (Email Classifier)

 Check clearance for recipients (Email, OWA, Notes and Mobile Classifier)

 Check clearance for originator (Email and OWA Classifier)


to define that, depending on the label, attachment / recipient and / or Originator clearance should be
checked if an email or w eb email message is sent. That is each recipient / originator must have a group,
specific or domain clearance that indicates they are permitted to receive / send information with the
current label. These checks are configured as described in Check rules.
Note: For the purposes of an Originator check the Originator is determined according to the Email
Classifier setting "Use From field for Originator Clearance ". By default this w ill be the identity of the
Primary Mailbox - that is the first mail box configured in the current profile.
The operation of the Clearance check is influenced by which of the following settings is enabled (see
Clearance Settings):

 Dynamic Clearances

 Clearance Check email domains (Email, OWA and Notes Classifier)


If none of the above is Enabled then no clearance checks are performed
If Dynamic Clearances are enabled, then Classifier first checks to see whether a Dynamic Clearance
for the recipient provides suitable Clearance. If no suitable dynamic clearance is available, the algorithm
w ill proceed domain clearance checks (if Enabled).
If Clearance Check email domains is set then perform clearance checks on all external recipients
using the appropriate email domain clearance value.
For Single selection list selectors , the label value must be permitted by the domain / recipient
clearance for the check to pass.
For Permissive Multi-select selectors, the domain / recipient clearance must include one of the
values in the label for the check to pass.
For Restrictive Multi-select selectors, the domain / recipient clearance must include ALL of the
values in the label for the check to pass.

Check Attachments/Recipients/Originator - Warn / Prevent

If no Check attachment / recipients / originator rules are defined then recipient clearances are not
checked at email message submission time.
If rules are defined, and the originator / all recipients are cleared for information/ attachments within

p405
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

the current email message label then email message submission continues uninterrupted regardless of
whether Warn or Prevent is chosen.
If the originator or recipients fail the clearance check then the effect is dependent upon the
Warn/Prevent or Challenge setting in the Rule definition:

 If Audit only is set then the occurrence is audited and the email submission proceeds but requires
no user involvement.

 If Warn, Prevent or Challenge is set then email message submission is interrupted and the sender
is presented with a dialog (shown below) indicating the problem and presenting options as to how to
proceed as per the examples below.
Note: If Recipient Checks are performed, then the membership of any expanded distribution group
(DG) as governed by Always use Distribution List clearance is also checked.
Note: Outlook Emails only - If a member of a DG is ‘removed’ as part of the Remove action then the DG
is replaced by the expanded set of ‘cleared’ members prior to submission.
The dialogs below are show n in accordance with the Warn, Prevent or Challenge settings
Attachments / Recipients / Originator failing the clearance check are presented, with the text as defined
by the relevant rule(s).

Originator - Recipient Clearance Check dialog.


Clicking the Remove button (Outlook only) for recipients removes all failing recipients.
Clicking Change button (Outlook only) alongside the Originator (or the large Label button at the top of
the dialog) w ill show a label selection dialog allowing the user to change the label.
The Back button allows the user to cancel the Send action and return to the email message window to
make adjustments to the email message content and/or recipients.
The Continue button is only available if the Warn or Challenge option has been selected and if clicked
proceeds w ith the email message submission. Any clearance check failures still applicable will be
audited.

Note: Not supported by Classifier Mail Add-in.
An Email Domain Clearance defines the clearance that should be assigned to a given email domain
address space.
The configuration features are only available if Clearance check email domains is Enabled as
described in Clearance Settings.
If recipient clearance checking is enabled through an appropriate Check clearance for attachments
/recipients rule for Outlook, OWA or Notes, then any external recipient is checked using an Email
domain clearance that matches their email address.
These domain clearances are administered through the Clearance Settings / Email Domain. The
following actions are supported:

 Add a new email domain clearance.


 Edit email domain clearance .
 Delete email domain clearance .
The summary display show s all defined email domain clearances and the associated clearance
information in per selector columns.
Note: You should probably establish a domain clearance setting for your own (internal) domain, and it
may be useful to establish a default (minimal) domain clearance to handle any recipient addresses that
do not match any other configured domain clearance (see Add a new email domain clearance).

the following situations:

 To check Originator Clearance in conjunction with a Check clearance for Originator rule.

 To check Recipient clearance in conjunction with a Check clearance for recipients rule.

 To check attachment clearances in conjunction with a Check clearance for attachments rule.

 To apply clearance filters to the Label dialog if Masking of selectors against clearance is Enabled.
The Conditions relating to Dynamic Clearances are similar to other conditions, but have a specific
'Condition Type' of Dynamic Clearance User Properties . They are managed as other Conditions (
Condition Library).
A configuration option Always use Distribution List clearances is supported by Email and OWA

EMAIL, OWA, MAIL ADD-IN, NOTES AND MOBILE


DIFFERENCES
Enabling and Disabling functionality :

 Email and Notes Classifier functionality can be enabled and disabled globally via Global Settings /
Classifier Application Settings.

 OWA Classifier functionality can only be enabled and disabled via install/remove product actions.
Browser support information can be found under Browser Support (OW A).

 Notes and Mobile Classifier functionality can only be enabled and disabled via install/remove product
actions.
Application Differences :
Taking Outlook functionality as the baseline, the follow ing topics summarise the differences betw een the
applications:

 OWA Classifier and Classifier Mail Add-in vs Email Classifier .

 Notes Classifier vs Email Classifier .

 Mobile Classifier vs Email Classifier .

p418
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

OWA Classifier and Classifier Mail Add-in vs Email


Classifier
OWA Classifier and Classifier Mail Add-in (3.10.0) support subsets of the features supported by
Email Classifier (Outlook) as detailed in the various tables in this document:

 Classifier Application Settings


 General Settings
 Rules supported
In addition there are various other differences summarised below :
Portion Marking in a message (nor any related Portion Marking features) is not supported by OWA /
Mail Add-in Classifier.

Policy Test Mode capability does not extend to testing in OWA or Mail Add-in environments.

Mail Add-in only supports messages. Other message types (e.g. appointments) are not supported.
Labelling of Calendar items is only supported in OWA Premium view.

During a Reply / Forward sequence, Email Classifier removes any existing subject markings at the time
the new message is created. Due to the environment, OWA / Mail Add-in can only 'replace' the subject
markings at the time the message is sent.

Enable/Disable of the OWA / Mail Add-in Classifier is via server based Install/Uninstall and Licence.

Message templates are not supported by OWA / Mail Add-in Classifier.

Assisted labelling and Environment properties in Marking Formats are supported by OWA / Mail Add-in
Classifier, but there are some differences.

The following are not supported:


o Favourites,
o Recently Used Labels and Portion Marks,
o Document properties in Marking Formats,
o Content Checking.
The Add Category to message rule is not supported by OWA / Mail Add-in Classifier: since Folder
View Labelling (Outlook) is not available, the category can only be set on Sent Items and the feature
w ould be incomplete.

Whilst OWA / Mail Add-in supports the Help links defined in a Classifier Configuration, the nature of
accessing these environments may mean that a defined link is not accessible due to external access
controls (e.g. additional authentication requirements).

The nature of the OWA / Mail Add-in environments means that checking must take place at the Server
(when the message is sent) and the error handling interactions do not alw ays operate quite the same
as in the Outlook client. In particular, Attachment labels are not checked until the message is sent and
it is not possible to support an equivalent to the Automatically elevate email label feature.

The server tends to run for extended periods and changes to the configuration do not take place in the
same manner as for a client (w here closing and restarting all Classifier supported applications will
ensure the latest configuration is used by a desktop client).

The end user experience may vary in some scenarios outlined in User experience variance between
Email, OWA and Notes.

Mail Add-in: On send, Classifier add-in code is invoked and Classifier performs any checks required. If
Classifier checks pass, all configured markings are applied. Note that subsequent checks by OWA/Mail
Add-in (e.g. no recipients), or indeed other add-ins, or user (e.g. no Subject) may cause message
submission to be halted w ith the draft message now showing the marking information. This is different
to Email Classifier w here Classifier is invoked after Recipient / Subject checks etc.

Notes Classifier vs Email Classifier

p419
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Notes Classifier essentially supports a subset of the features supported by Email Classifier (Outlook).
The key differences are:
 Application of RMS and S/MIME security to a message is not supported by Notes Classifier.
 Portion Marking in a message is not supported by Notes (nor any related Portion Marking features)
and attachment labels are not checked until the message is sent (there is no Automatically elevate
email label). The end user experience may vary in some scenarios as outlined in User experience
variance betw een Email, OWA and Notes.
 Enable/Disable of the Notes Classifier is via server based Install/uninstall and Licence.
 Message templates are not supported by Notes Classifier.
 Folder View labelling is not supported by Notes Classifier.
 The Favourites button is not supported under Notes 8.
 The nature of the environment means that error handling interactions does not operate quite the
same as in the Outlook client. In particular the dialogs presented if Check rules fail (e.g. Recipient
clearance or high-w ater mark checks) do NOT present the Fix actions (e.g. Upgrade, Remove), the
user has to rectify the anomalies.
 Only a subset of Classifier Applications Settings is supported by Notes Classifier.
 Only a subset of General Settings are supported by Notes Classifier.
 Only a subset of Rules are supported by Notes Classifier.

p420
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Mobile Classifier vs Email Classifier


Mobile Classifier essentially supports a subset of the features supported by Email Classifier (Outlook).
The key differences are:
 Label selection presents a Single click interface - as a consequence the policy to be used must
define single click settings.
 The label of a message is presented at the top of the message body.
 Images (e.g. in Single Click buttons) are not supported by Mobile Classifier.
 UI Definitions are not supported by Mobile Classifier, so actions on dialogs such as Back and
Continue w ill always appear as such.
 Application of RMS and S/MIME security to a message is not supported by Mobile Classifier.
 Portion Marking in a message is not supported by Mobile Classifier (nor any related Portion Marking
features).
 Enable/Disable of the Mobile Classifier is via App install/uninstall on the users device, using server
based Service Install/uninstall applying Licence control.
 Message templates are not supported by Mobile Classifier.
 Folder View labelling is not supported by Mobile Classifier.
 The Favourites, Recently Used and Options features are not supported under Mobile Classifier.
 The nature of the environment means that error handling interactions does not operate quite the
same as in the Outlook client. In particular the dialogs presented if Check rules fail (e.g. Recipient
clearance) do NOT present the Fix actions (e.g. Upgrade, Remove), the user has to use Back/
Continue rectify /ignore the anomalies.
 There are currently no Classifier Applications Settings specified for Mobile Classifier.
 Only a subset of the General Settings are supported by Mobile Classifier.
 Only a subset of Rules are supported by Mobile Classifier.

Browser Support (OWA)


OWA Classifier supports Client Basic and Client Premium.

For information regarding support for other browsers see the OWA Classifier Release Note.

Note: Chrome is the recommended browser.

The recommended browsers are:

 Google Chrome

 Microsoft Edge

 Internet Explorer 11

 Safari

 Firefox

 Opera

p421
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

CONFIGURATION DEPLOYMENT
Note: If you wish to Publish the Classifier Configuration via Active Directory then the Active Directory
Schema must be updated ( Extending the Active Directory Schema ). Schema update is not required if
you intend to Publish the configuration via file store.
If you wish to use the optional Classifier Management Agent, then this must be installed and configured
as described in the Management Agent Guide.
The schematic below shows logically how the Classifier configuration is deployed.

Configuration Deployment

Creating and Modifying the Configuration


Step 1 The process starts by the Administrator creating an initial configuration on their local
machine and evolving that configuration to the point where it is deemed suitable for
deployment to a user community. This might initially be to a pilot group or into a test
environment, but might ultimately be the entire user population.
Step 2 Once the configuration is stable the Administrator will Publish the configuration to the Master
Configuration location. This can be the Active Directory (needs Extending the Active
Directory Schema to have been run), some suitable (shared) File Store location.
You can also produce a copy of the configuration in a format suitable for retrieval from a URL
location as supported by Classifier Clients (Outlook, Word etc.) and Classifier Management
Agent using Create Web Configuration .
(Step 2A) (Modifying the configuration) If an Administrator plans to modify the Master Configuration
they must ensure their local machine holds an up to date copy of the Master Configuration -
Get Server Configuration - will overwrite any existing local copy. The Administrator can then
modify the configuration and re-publish using Publish Configuration.
Note: If you Publish the configuration to File Store you must ensure that the target (Master) location
has suitable permissions. End users should have the ability to Read from that location and
Administrators w ho are to modify the Master configuration must also have the ability to write to that
location using the netw ork path.
Classifier application retrieval of Configuration
Classifier applications need to know where to find the Master Configuration, and which Policy in the
Configuration should be used. All Classifier Applications determine this by searching Registry Key
settings in precedence order as described in Configuration Registry Search Algorithm and its sub-topics
These registry settings may be established either directly, or using Group Policy Option mechanisms as
described in:
o Set the Registry Keys Directly .

o Set the Registry Keys using Group Policy .

The next steps vary according to whether the Classifier Management Agent is in use.

p422
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Management Agent in use:


Step 3a/b The Management Agent retrieves the Master Configuration, checking for updates according
to its own configuration settings in conjunction w ith Web Host Settings if applicable. The
retrieved configuration is stored locally (Management Agent setting - CommonConfigFolder).
Step 3c The client application(s) are configured to retrieve their configuration from the location
w ritten by the Management Agent (3b).
Management Agent not in use and for applications not using the Management Agent (O WA
Classifier etc.):
Step 3/4 Each Classifier application periodically (e.g. on start up) retrieves the configuration from the
Master location, but only if the Master configuration is 'later' than the local version. For Email
and Office Classifier the Validity Period registry setting can be used to control when the
check should be performed. The retrieved configuration is stored locally unless
ClientServerOverride is Enabled, or the application (e.g. OW A) is operating in ServiceMode.
Classifier Registry Entry Grouping
The Registry entries relevant to Classifier operations are grouped as follows:

 Label Configuration policy settings to ensure that Classifier Client products (e.g. Email and Office
Classifier) will obtain their Classifier Configuration from the correct location and that users will be
assigned the correct Classifier policy (available for Local Machine and Current User). The Registry
Keys and the effects if the policy setting is not configured corresponding to these settings are
described in Label Configuration Registry Settings .
o This includes a sub-group of settings relating to Service Mode that are only available for
the Local Machine.
o Web Host Settings that are only applicable if you plan to retrieve master configuration from
a URL location.

 Client Configuration policy settings that can be used in unusual circumstances to control some
aspects of Classifier Client operation (available for Local Machine and Current User). The Registry
Keys corresponding to these settings are described in Client Configuration Registry Settings .

 Manually configurable - Settings to Auto Enable Microsoft Office Header / Footer controls .

 File Classifier policy settings (available for Local Machine and Current User) that can be used to
control aspects of File Classifier operation. These are only relevant if you are using File Classifier and
are described in File Classifier Registry settings .

 Management Agent policy settings as described in the Classifier Management Agent Guide .
Note: OWA Classifier is configured per server, and all users of that OWA server will operate under the
Configuration and Policy used by that server.
Note: OWA Classifier only changes its configuration after a restart. Thus after publishing an updated
configuration, an IISRESET w ould be required to cause OWA Classifier to use that new configuration.
Note: If you are using Group Policy mechanisms, the Client operation relies on the Group Policy settings
reaching the client. If the effects are not as expected you should run regedit and check that the relevant
entries are present. Running GPUPDATE /Force may be of assistance. Check that the client machine is
properly recognised in the domain - removing and re-introducing the client can resolve this issue.
Note: If a user is a member of more than one grouping you can use Group Policy Resultant set of Policy
(RosP) to establish the configuration they w ill actually get (i.e. the Classifier Policy they will use).

Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Configuration Registry Search Algorithm

Each Classifier application / service context (e.g. Email or Office Classifier, OWA Classifier, etc.) looks
for relevant configuration registry settings below various locations in the registry.
The locations searched vary with the application type and further details can be found under:

 Client Registry Locations (Email and Office Classifier, Notes Classifier, File Classifier, CAD Classifier,
Pow er Classifier for files and Power Classifier for SharePoint).

 Classifier Service Registry Locations (OWA Classifier, Classifier Reporting, SharePoint Classifier,
Classifier Management Agent).

 Exchange Classifier Registry Locations (Exchange Classifier).

 Classifier Administration Registry Locations

Client Registry Locations

This covers the Classifier Applications: Email and Office Classifier, Notes Classifier, File Classifier, CAD
Classifier, Pow er Classifier for files and Power Classifier for SharePoint.
Each will look for the configuration registry settings:

Setting (examples)
ClientServerOverride
LabelConfiguration
Policy
PolicyFileClassifier
PolicyOutlook
ServerFileSystemRoot
ServerRootType
UseWebServer etc
ValidityPeriod

in the following registry locations, in the order shown:


1. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ SOFTWARE\Policies\Boldon James\ConfigManager .
2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTW ARE\Policies\Boldon James\ConfigManager .
3. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTW ARE\Boldon James\ConfigManager .
Note: Power Classifier for files and Power Classifier for SharePoint also provide support for their own
ServiceMode settings as documented in Pow er Classifier for Files Guide and Power Classifier for
SharePoint Guide.
Note: Application specific settings can be found in similar locations with ConfigManager replaced by the
application name (e.g. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Boldon James\ File Classifier).
Note: For 64-bit machines that are to run 32-bit Classifier applications (e.g. Email Classifier and Office
Classifier), item 3 above would need registry keys establishing under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTW ARE\Wow6432Node\Boldon James\ConfigManager.

Classifier Service Registry Locations

This topic covers the Classifier Applications: OW A Classifier, Classifier Reporting, SharePoint Classifier,
Classifier Management Agent.
Note: If more than one service (OW A Classifier, SharePoint Classifier, etc.) is installed on a single
system, they w ill all use the same registry settings. For these services, use of ServiceMode (items 1 or 2
below ) is recommended as it ensures separation of registry key usage by these services and other

p424
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Classifier applications (e.g. Email and Office Classifier) running on the same system.
Each will look for relevant registry settings (Blank = Not used by that service):

Setting OWA Reporting SharePoint Management


Agent

2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTW ARE\Boldon James\ConfigManager\ServiceMode
3. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTW ARE\Policies\Boldon James\ConfigManager .
4. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTW ARE\Boldon James\ConfigManager .
Note: For 64-bit machines that are to run 32-bit Classifier applications (e.g. Management Agent), items
2 and 4 above would need registry keys establishing under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTW ARE\Wow6432Node\Boldon James\ConfigManager\ServiceMode or
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTW ARE\Wow6432Node\Boldon James\ConfigManager.

Exchange Classifier Registry Locations

Exchange Classifier looks for configuration registry settings:

below its own private ExchangeServiceMode branch and searches the following locations in the order
shown:
1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Boldon James\ConfigManager
\ExchangeServiceMode
2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Boldon James\ConfigManager\ExchangeServiceMode
See Exchange Classifier Guide > Classifier Routing Agent ) for further information.

Classifier Administration Registry Locations

The Classifier Administration Server uses the following registry location to store the last "published to"
location:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ SOFTWARE\Boldon James\ConfigManager.

Set the Registry Keys directly


The screen shot below shows an example (from a 64-bit environment) of the values you need to
establish if you are setting the keys for end users under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Boldon
James\ConfigManager that control access to the Classifier Configuration information.

p425
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

The values w ill of course depend on your local environment and whether you are using Active Directory
or File Store as the Master Configuration location, and whether Classifier Management Agent is
deployed. See description in Label Configuration Registry Settings for more information.
Note: For Management Agent, OW A Classifier and SharePoint Classifier it is recommended that registry
entries are established under ServiceMode (see Label Configuration Registry Settings ).

Local Machine Registry Keys

Set the Registry Keys using Group Policy


This assumes that your Group Policy has been extended as described in Applying the supplied ADM/
ADMX/ADML files.
The following types of Group Policy settings are provided for Classifier:

 Label Configuration settings described in Label Configuration Registry Settings .

o A sub group of settings relating to Service Mode are only available for the Local Machine.

 Client Configuration settings described in Client Configuration Registry Settings .

 File Classifier settings are only relevant if you are using File Classifier. They are described in File
Classifier Registry settings .

 Management Agent settings are only relevant if you are deploying the Classifier Management
agent. These settings are described in the Management Agent Guide .
The mechanisms are the same for each of the above. The examples below cover the Label Configuration
settings as these are the most likely to be used.
 Firstly define the settings that are to be common to all users of a PC (i.e.
HKEY_Local_Machine).

Applying supplied ADM/ADMX/ADML files

Classifier Administration supplies various .ADM and ADMX/ADML files available from the sub-folder
Classifier Group Policy Templates beneath the Classifier Administration Server folder in the Base
Bundle. These can be used to extend the group policy settings. The steps below provide an example of
how to extend Group Policy settings using the supplied files.
ADM style files:
o ClassifierConfig.ADM and ClassifierConfigPerUser.ADM .

o FileClassifierConfig.ADM and FileClassifierConfigPerUser.ADM (only relevant if you are


using File Classifier, but benign if installed and not used).
Note: If when upgrading to a later version of Classifier Administration the settings supported by
an ADM file have been extended, you will have to Remove the old template before adding the
new ADM file.
The precise steps will depend on your environment.
 Navigate to Computer Configuration.
 For Window s Server 2003 this may be from Active Directory Users and Computers; select
CLASSIFIER.TEST and select Properties from the context menu, then select the Group
Policy Tab; Select the Default Domain Policy entry and click Edit.
 For Windows Server 2008 you can use the Group Policy Management Editor MMC snap-in
to get directly to the target tree. Expand Domains and then expand the domain (e.g.
CLASSIFIER.TEST) and select Default Domain Policy below that. Choose Edit... from the
context menu.

Registry Keys set by Group Policy

p430
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

The following keys (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE) relate to Configuration location, the Configuration and
Policy.
Note: It is recommended that registry entries are established under ServiceMode (Label Configuration
Registry Settings) for Management Agent, OWA Classifier, SharePoint Classifier.
Note: A full description of all the Registry settings relevant only to the Management Agent can be found
in the Management Agent Guide.
The example below shows entries under ...\Policies\Boldon James\ConfigManager. You can generally set
up relevant entries under any of the supported registry locations and the precedence defined in
Configuration Registry Search Algorithm applies if entries appear in more than one sub-tree. However,
the algorithm expects to find the following as 'pairs' under a sub-tree:

 Label Configuration + Policy

 ServerRootType + ServerFileSystemRoot (if relevant)

Registry Keys - Configuration Settings

Label Configuration Registry settings


These registry settings are used to indicate the location from which a Classifier application should
retrieve its Classifier Configuration, the applicable Label Configuration and the Policy that it will use. The
Registry settings are defined below under Registry Settings.
Certain Classifier applications are more suited to a Service style of operation and a set of equivalent
keys is defined below under Service Mode Registry Settings .
Classifier applications use a common precedence algorithm to search for their Registry settings below
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_CURRENT_USER. The locations and the precedence algorithm are
described in Configuration Registry Search Algorithm .
The settings can be established either directly, or using Group Policy mechanisms as described in:

 Set the Registry Keys Directly

 Set the Registry Keys using Group Policy


Further details can be found in the sub-topics below :

 Registry Settings

 Service Mode Registry settings

p431
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

 Web Host Settings

Registry Settings
The Entries (and Policy setting name) listed below are established under ...\Boldon
James\ConfigManager.
Entry \ClientServerOverride (Client Server Override)
Type REG_DWORD (Prior to 3.7 this was a REG_SZ setting, but newer softw are versions will
continue to w ork with the old setting).
Data Normally Classifier client applications (e.g. Email and Office Classifier) retrieve their
configuration from the designated location (AD or file store) AND save a copy locally to
facilitate offline operation. In some environments this can be inappropriate. This setting
can be used to inhibit the local storage of the configuration.
0 (default if not configured) The standard operation applies (local storage of the
configuration).
1 The configuration is not stored locally.

Entry \CommonConfigFolder (Configuration download folder)


This item is only applicable if you are using Classifier Management Agent and is
documented in the Classifier Management Agent Guide.

Entry \DeferredConfigDownload (Deferred Configuration Download)


Type REG_DWORD
Data This setting controls configuration download behaviour for Client mode only.
0 (default if not configured) Immediate - if an updated configuration is detected by a
new instance of a client application, download completes before the application
proceeds.
1 Deferred - if an updated configuration is detected by a new instance of a client
application, the application does not wait for the new configuration download to
complete. Instead the application proceeds using the existing configuration and the
configuration download proceeds as a separate thread.

Entry \LabelConfiguration (Label Configuration Name)


Type REG_SZ
Data This setting controls configuration dow nload behaviour for Client modes. The default is to
dow nload server configuration immediately.

Entry \Policy (Policy Name)


Type REG_SZ
Data The name of the policy in the configuration that this user should use. E.g. "All users".

Entries \PolicyFileClassifier (File Classifier Policy Name)


\PolicyOutlook (Outlook Policy Name) - Notes Classifier also supports this
setting.
Type REG_SZ
Data [These are only required if there is a need for File Classifier or Outlook or Notes to operate
under a different policy to that used by other classifier applications ].
The name of the policy in the configuration that this user should use when running File
Classifier / Outlook / Notes (e.g. "All users File Classifier"). These settings are only of
significance in File Classifier, Outlook and Notes. All other applications w ill use the value
defined by Policy above. If the relevant value is undefined, File Classifier / Outlook /
Notes w ill use the value defined by Policy above.

Entry \ServerFileSystemRoot (File Based Configuration Location)


Type REG_SZ
Data (Only required if ServerRootType = 0 )

p432
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Path to the location that holds the Classifier Configuration folder


Note: For remote locations, this value should be specified as a full UNC path, rather than
using Drive letters.

Entry \ServerRootType (Configuration Distribution Server Type)


Type REG_DWORD
Data 0 Configuration is held in File Store (ServerFileSystemRoot key is then significant)
1 Configuration is held in Active Directory

Entry \ValidityPeriod (Downloaded Configuration Validity Period)


Type REG_DWORD
Data 0 The centrally held Configuration (held in File Store or AD) is checked for validity at
the start of each session. This is the default assumed if the entry is not set.
> 0 The time in hours for w hich the local (cache) copy of the Configuration is assumed to
be valid. No further dow nloads of the Configuration will be performed until the
ValidityPeriod has expired, even if the central version is updated. This setting can be
useful for some w orkstation environments (e.g. due to the netw ork speed the time to
check the Configuration validity at start of each application becomes noticeable and
annoying). It should be used with care as it may result in users operating with out of
date configurations.

Entry \UseManagementAgent (Use Management Agent)


Type REG_DWORD
Data Note: This entry is only supported under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
This entry controls w hether the Classifier Client applications (Email and Office Classifier / File
Classifier (3.10 or later)) use Classifier Management Agent (see Classifier Management Agent
Guide for further details).

0 (Disabled - the default if not configured). Classifier Client applications will continue to
retrieve configuration directly and w ill not register with the Management Agent.
1 (Enabled) Classifier Client applications will use the Management Agent:
- Each Classifier client w ill obtain its configuration via the Management agent and not
check for a more recent configuration as described in Management Agent Guide >
Configuration update – single point of contact.
- The Email and Office Classifier clients ( not File Classifier) will register with the
Management Agent as part of Client Application Monitoring .

Service Mode Registry Settings


The Keys (and Policy setting name) listed below are established under ...\Boldon
James\ConfigManager\ServiceMode . If defined these are used by Management Agent, OWA
Classifier and SharePoint Classifier in preference to any other settings that may be defined. Use of
Service Mode is recommended for these components. Under ServiceMode the configuration is retrieved
from the designated Master location - no local cache is maintained. These items are not supported for
PerUser policy settings.
Entry \ServerRootType (Service Mode Configuration Distribution Server Type)
Type REG_DWORD
Data 0 Configuration is held in File Store (ServerFileSystemRoot key is then significant)
1 Configuration is held in Active Directory

applications.

Entry \Policy (Service Mode Policy Name)


Type REG_SZ
Data The name of the policy in the configuration that this user should use. E.g. "All users". Only
applicable to some applications.

p434
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Web Host Settings


The Keys (and Policy setting name) listed below are required if you wish either Classifier Clients or
Classifier Management Agent to retrieve the Master Configuration from a Web location. See also Create
Web Configuration.
Two sets of settings are defined which should be established under ...\Boldon
James\ConfigManager\ServiceMode for Management Agent use, or under ...\Boldon
James\ConfigManager for Classifier Clients usage. The names presented through the Policy Manager
interfaces differ (e.g. Service Mode Use Web Server for the Management Agent vs Use Web Server for
direct client use).
If the client UseManagementAgent registry entry is set, then any client related settings are ignored.
If the Management Agent is not in use, then these settings can be used to direct the clients to retrieve
the Master Configuration from the designated web location.
Entry \UseWebServer (Service Mode Use Web Server)
\UseWebServer (Use Web Server)
Type REG_DWORD
Data 0 Disabled (default) relevant applications w ill retrieve Master Configuration according

File Classifier Registry settings


These settings (available for Local Machine and Current User) can be used to control aspects of File
Classifier operation.
The settings can be established either directly, or using Group Policy Option mechanisms as described
in:

 Set the Registry Keys Directly

 Set the Registry Keys using Group Policy


The settings can be established under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE
\Boldon James\File Classifier. The Registry Keys corresponding to these settings are:
Entry \EnableFileLabelCaching ( not currently supported by FileClassifierConfig.ADM)
Type REG_DWORD
Data When File Classifier is invoked in Windows Explorer to present Icon Overlays indicating the
label, File Classifier has to open each item to determine the label, and this can take a
noticeable amount of time if large files are involved.
This EnableFileLabelCaching option can be used to cause File Classifier to store a copy of
the label in an Alternate Data Stream (for All file types) facilitating faster access the next
time. File Classifier will not change the ‘last modified time ’ when caching label values.
File Classifier will look for for the first instance of the registry key in the follow ing locations:
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Policies\Boldon James\File Classifier
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Boldon James\File Classifier
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Boldon James\File Classifier
Note: However, in some non-NTFS environments (e.g. ‘NetApp ONTAP’) the action to
preserve ‘modified time’ does not work and all files accessed end up with a modified time set
to the current date/time.

0 (default if not defined) File Classifier w ill not use an Alternate Data Stream to
hold a cache of the Label for all file types.
Non-zero File Classifier will cache the label in an Alternate Data Stream for all file types.

Entry \SelectableFilesLimit (Selectable Files Limit)


Type REG_DWORD
Data This setting is only applicable to File Classifier.

p438
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

0 (default if not defined) An unlimited number of files are selectable by the user.
>0 The number of files that may be selected for Classification. If this value is exceeded
the “Classify” option becomes disabled.

Entry \UseSingleColour (Use Single Colour) Only relevant to File Classifier


Type REG_DWORD
Data This setting is only applicable to File Classifier.
0 (default) File Classifier attempts to use all the overlays to reflect the colours associated
w ith the first selector value.
1 File Classifier only uses the default icon overlay

EXTENDING THE ACTIVE DIRECTORY SCHEMA


Note: In order to extend the schema, the user / Administrator needs to have permission to write to the
configuration container and the schema.
Note: For Windows 2003, the Window s Server 2003 Administration Tools Pack (ADMINPAK.MSI) must
be installed.
Note: The schema extension requires LDIFDE.EXE to be available - this may only be available by default
on a Domain Controller system. LDIFDE.EXE can be made available by using Server Manager to add
either Active Directory Domain Services (ADDS) or Active Directory Lightw eight Directory Services (AD
LDS roles).

 Install the Classifier Schema Extension package from the Classifier Schema Extension
sub-folder of Classifier Administration Server in the Base Bundle.
 The Classifier Schema Extension package can be deployed using either
ClassifierSchemaExtension.msi or Setup.exe.
 After installation, from the Start menu locate All Programs / Boldon James /
Administration Tools .
Note: Extending the schema is a non-reversible operation.
 Run Classifier Schema Extension .

Schema Extension
 Click Start to update the schema
 The tool will update the Active Directory schema and show a confirmation dialog; click OK
For Windows 2008 systems, ensure that the Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS)
tools are installed, otherw ise this will fail with error "Please ensure that the Active Directory
Domain Services tools are installed".

 Click Exit.

OWA Classifier
OWA Classifier must be installed on each Server that runs OWA supporting users that are to use
Classifier features.

Classifier Administration Server


Classifier Administration must be installed on a central (Administrator) server that can be accessed by
the designated administrators via a w eb brow ser. Classifier Administration controls access to features in
accordance w ith the Licences applied. The licence information is distributed as part of the Configuration
and is utilised by client applications to determine w hich features are presented to users.

Classifier Clearance Service


The Clearance Service can only operate on a single system at a time (the service should only be running
once in the domain). Note that there is no associated licence file for this component - you are granted
the rights to use it through the client licence you purchase.

APPENDIX - LABEL PROPAGATION MECHANISMS


To support Label Propagation, the various Classifier products need to Read and Set Labels and Markings
on items in a consistent manner.
This topic summarises the mechanisms used by each Classifier Application when processing a label
value.
Note: This section describes functionality available in the current version. Classifier product versions
prior to this may support only a subset of features described below.
Note: In the text below, BJ label refers to a custom Classifier property that holds the Label value in an
encoded form. This is usually converted to a Summary Marking if it is to be presented to a user. It is
sometimes referred to as the 'SISL' label. [For Visio documents BJ label is stored as a 'Solution XML
Element', rather than a document custom property]
The three tables below summarise:

 Document types supported.

 Supported file extensions and Label Locations.

 Application operation.
Document types supported
L Set the Label on an item of this type. Depending on the item type, the label is stored in an
application custom property, as Meta-data, or a 'standard' property (e.g. ZIP Comment
field). The ability to change a label can be limited by Check for label change rules.
M Apply a Marking on an item of this type. A marking held in a Label Location may be used to
determine a label value.
R Read the label of an item of this type.
SPL Set a SharePoint label (only visible under SharePoint).
U For these items, labels under SharePoint cannot be changed.
ADS Set a Label value stored in NTFS Alternate Data Stream (ADS). Note that this is not
available in all environments (neither OWA attachments nor SharePoint upload). See also
Attachment Handling for further details of high-w ater mark handling of ADS under Outlook.
SA Save as - Document properties containing label information will be stored.

1 (Open Office documents) Office applications (e.g. Word, Excel) will store private custom
properties containing label information when saving as Open Office documents and that Label
information is available if the document is subsequently opened by the same office application.
However, this information is not available to other Classifier applications (e.g. File Classifier or
Outlook). By default File Classifier / Power Classifier stores label information in the ADS
(not available to Outlook). A specific plug-in (3) can be configured that w ill cause FC/PC to
store the label information as a custom property that can be accessed by that same plug-in
meaning it will be accessible to Outlook (for attachment checks). Label information set by File
Classifier / Pow er Classifier is not available to Office Classifier. Label information set by
w hatever mechanism may be meaningless to Open Office applications.
Thus MS Office applications and File Classifier may manifest different label values for the same
file.
2 (HTML documents). Word can save as a web page (HTM/HTML) or a single Web page
(MHT/MHTML) both of which will store private custom properties (e.g. the label) that are
recovered if Word subsequently opens that document. How ever, this information is not available
to other Classifier applications (e.g. File Classifier or Outlook).
[Word can also save as a filtered Web page (HTM/HTM) which does NOT include the custom
properties - such a document will appear as unlabelled when subsequently opened using Word.
Excel can save as HTML, but does not store custom properties so is unlabelled if opened
subsequently.]
By default File Classifier / Power Classifier stores label information in the ADS (not available
to Outlook). A specific plug-in (3) can be configured that w ill cause FC/PC to store the label
information as meta-data that can be accessed by that same plug-in meaning it will be
accessible to Outlook (for attachment checks).
Label information set by File Classifier / Pow er Classifier is not available to Office Classifier.
Thus MS Office applications and File Classifier may manifest different label values for the same
file.
3 (3A - Exchange Classifier only) Support for these requires additional configuration of Classifier
Plugins under guidance from Classifier Customer Support.
4 Visio must be installed on the platform for this to work (e.g. so not supported under
SharePoint).
Visio is launched to access a Visio file, so can incur a significant overhead (e.g. HWM checks in
Outlook).
5 Word and Excel can save documents as other types (e.g. W ord to TXT and Excel to CSV). Such
Save actions w ill typically indicate to the user that some information may be lost. Classifier
labelling and marking information may be lost.
6 Saving as PDF: You can populate various standard document properties ( Title, Author,
Subject and Keywords) that will be propagated if you save an Office document as PDF.
However, Office applications do NOT propagate any Custom Properties to the PDF. In particular
the bjDocumentSecurityLabel is NOT propagated. Email, OW A and Notes Classifier will check
defined Label Locations for recognisable labels in standard PDF file properties for the Check for
the high-water mark and Add an attachment list rules.

Application operation

Application Notes

Office Classifier Open:

 For the supported document types (see tables above) it uses the BJ label value
if it exists, otherw ise it checks configured locations ( Supported document label
locations) to determine the current label value.
Save:

 For the supported file extensions (above) it sets the current BJ label, plus any
Markings defined by the configured rules.

 For all other document types (e.g. PDF, RTF, TXT etc.) markings may be
applied (using configured rules) to the document properties (e.g. Author,
Header). These markings may be visible in the saved item, but there is no
separate BJ label available to other applications. Other Classifier applications

p442
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

(e.g. Email Classifier) may see the file as unlabelled.


See notes above (1,3) regarding Open Office documents.
See notes above (2,3) regarding HTML documents.

Email Classifier Open received messages use the BJ label value if it exists, otherwise check
configured locations (Supported mail label locations ) to determine the current label

value.
Notes Classifier
When performing operations on attachments (not Mobile Classifier) relating to
Mobile Classifier high-water mark or Attachment list rules:
Try to ascertain a label for each item as per 'Label may be found from ' in
the table above. Attachment types that are not supported, or not configured
are treated as unlabelled.
Save/Send: Sets the current BJ label, plus any Markings defined by the configured
rules to message properties when the message is Saved or Sent.

SharePoint Uploading a Classifier labelled file :


Classifier
Try to ascertain a label for the item as per 'Label may be found from ' in the table
above. Attachment types that are not supported, or not configured are treated as
unlabelled.
Uploading an unlabelled file :
Unlabelled items may be labelled after upload. For Classifier supported items
(excluding Visio and message items) the BJ label value will be stored, and for Office
Classifier supported items a custom property is set to direct Office Classifier to
update the Markings when the documents is next opened.
For all other items, any label applied is only associated with the item whilst it is
stored in SharePoint. This value is referred to a SharePoint label.

File Classifier Read:


Power Classifier Try to ascertain a label for the item as per 'Label may be found from ' in the table
above. Attachment types that are not supported, or not configured are treated as

Write:

 For documents supported by Office Classifier , write the BJ label value, and set
a custom property to ensure that Office Classifier will update all Marking
locations the next time the file is opened.
Note Visio is not supported by Pow er Classifier or File Classifier.
Note that from version 3.8 Pow er Classifier has a Set Update Markings
option which controls this effect as described in the Power Classifier Guide.

 For PDF write the BJ label custom property.

 For ZIP files overwrite the Comment field.


Note: The Comment is visible via Actions / Comment if the archive is opened
using winzip.

 MSG files can be labelled using File or Power Classifier.

 For other supported file types write the BJ label custom property.

 All other attachment types optionally w rite the label to the NTFS Alternate
Stream Data.

CAD Classifier Open:

 For the supported document types (see tables above) it uses the BJ label value
if it exists, otherw ise it checks configured locations ( Supported document label
locations) to determine the current label value.
Save:

 For the supported file extensions (above) it sets the current BJ label, plus any

Markings defined by the configured rules.

Classifier API Read:

Write:

 For the supported file extensions (above) it sets the current BJ label, but no
rules (e.g. markings) are applied. See Classifier API documentation for
run-time parameters.
Note: Visio files can only be accessed if Visio is installed AND there is a significant
overhead as Visio will be loaded for each document accessed.

Box Classifier Read:

 For the supported document types ( dll, zip, pdf, html, jpg, xls, xlsx, ppt,
pptx, vsd, doc, docx, mpp, odp, ods, odt, msg, pdb, txt, xps ) it uses the
BJ label value if it exists, otherw ise it checks configured locations (Supported
document label locations ) to determine the current label value.
(Any information held in the Alternate Data Stream is lost when uploaded.)
Write:

 Box Classifier never changes any document.

Note: The Open operational above described the general order when trying to find a label value. This
can be reversed by the Check label Locations first setting.

General Limitations:

 Any Classifier label assigned to an RMS or S/MIME protected item w ill only be available when the
item is fully opened by a suitable application, so File / Pow er Classifier, Email /OWA / Notes
Classifier and SharePoint Classifier does not have access to labels in these circumstances.

 Attempts to W rite a label value fail if the file is Read Only, or if the file is in use by another
application.

 Attempts to Read a label may fail if the file is in use by another application.

 Attempts to Read or Write a label fail if you do not have permission to access the file, or the file is
RMS protected or encrypted.

 Attempts to Read or Write a label fail if the file is masquerading - i.e. the content does not match
the file extension (e.g. .TXT renamed as .DOC).

p444
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Plugins
Label recognition is performed by a Classifier component that is common across the Classifier
applications. This component utilises information held in an XML file (DocLabeller2) in a Plugins folder in
the configuration:

Plugins DocLabeller2
The file contains a section for each file type supported, defining information such as the file extensions
relevant to the file type, the (Write) properties that Classifier supports and the DLL used to process that
file type:

p445
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Plugins XML
Support for new file types, and extending support for existing file types may require updates to
Classifier softw are (e.g. a new DLL) and / or changes to this XML file.
The initial contents of this XML file are generated when the first Classifier Configuration is generated and
the file is propagated as part of the Classifier Configuration.
The following general sequence should be followed to modify and propagate changes to DocLabeller2:
 Ensure any Classifier Client, Administration and Server software changes are applied and
deployed.
 Get the current master configuration using Get Server Configuration. The retrieved
configuration is stored under ...\ Boldon James\Configuration as outlined in Configuration
Archives.
 Make the necessary changes to ...\Label Configurations\Plugins\DocLabeller2.
 Publish the updated Configuration using Publish Configuration.
 The changes w ill become effective in the applications in due course.

APPENDIX - EXAMPLE OF ‘BEST MATCHING RULE’


ALGORITHM
The following example illustrates the effects of Rule Overlap Handling where a relatively complex set of
<Label condition> rules have been defined.
Consider a label structure supporting the following three Selectors with their associated values:
Designation Department Region
Public Sales Asia
Internal Finance Europe

Now consider a number of instances of the same basic Rule (e.g. Outlook FLOT) each with its own Label
match criteria:

Designation Department Region Notes

p446
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Rule 1 No Label Will only (and always) match if no label


value is selected.

Rule 2 Always Will only apply if none of the other rules


match the label condition criteria

Rule 3 <Not Relevant> Finance Europe

Rule 4 <Any> <Any> Europe

Rule 5 Public Finance <Not


Relevant>

Rule 6 <Any> Finance Europe

Rule 7 Public <Any> Europe

Rule 8 Public Finance Europe

Creating the rules above results in the following rule tree structure:

Rule overlap tree


The rule overlap algorithm operates on the basic premise that the more specific the label matching

p447
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

criteria, the higher the w eighting of the rule (higher weighting wins). Selector ordering is taken into
account (the second selector in the policy has a higher weighting than the first selector etc.).
The table below shows all the possible values of the selectors defined above, and which rule each
possible combination triggers. Rule 2 is the catchall rule that applies if there is no more specific match.

<Blank> <Blank> <Blank> Rule 1


<Blank> <Blank> Europe Rule 2
<Blank> <Blank> Asia Rule 2
<Blank> Sales <Blank> Rule 2
<Blank> Sales Europe Rule 2
<Blank> Sales Asia Rule 2
<Blank> Finance <Blank> Rule 2
<Blank> Finance Europe Rule 3
<Blank> Finance Asia Rule 2
Public <Blank> <Blank> Rule 2
Public <Blank> Europe Rule 2
Public <Blank> Asia Rule 2
Public Sales <Blank> Rule 2
Public Sales Europe Rule 7
Public Sales Asia Rule 2
Public Finance <Blank> Rule 5
Public Finance Europe Rule 8
Public Finance Asia Rule 5
Internal <Blank> <Blank> Rule 2
Internal <Blank> Europe Rule 2
Internal <Blank> Asia Rule 2
Internal Sales <Blank> Rule 2
Internal Sales Europe Rule 4
Internal Sales Asia Rule 2
Internal Finance <Blank> Rule 2
Internal Finance Europe Rule 6
Internal Finance Asia Rule 2

Now consider a Label value of “Public; Finance; Europe” – it matches every single rule defined above
w ith the exception of Rule 1 (No Label) w ill only match if no label value is selected.

Classifier must pick the ‘best’ match. This appears fairly easy because Rule 8 is an exact match for all
three elements. However, if Rule 8 w as not defined the answer is less obvious.

So ignoring Rules 1 and 8 in this instance, the algorithm can be summarised as follow s:

Any Rule that has a specific match for the Region (most significant selector) is ‘better’ than any Rule
that only has an <Any> or <Not Relevant> or <Alw ays> match for Region. Hence Rules 3, 4, 6 and 7
are immediately ‘better’ matches than Rules 2 and 5 can be ignored in the next refinement.

Now considering the preceding Selector (Department) in the policy, any rule that specifically matches
the Department value is ‘better’ than a Rule that has only an <Any> or <Not Relevant> or <Always>
match. Hence Rules 3 and 6 are ‘better’ than Rules 4 and 7.

Finally considering the first Selector (Designation) the <Any> is ‘better’ than a <Not Relevant> or
<Always> match which means that Rule 6 is ‘better’ than Rule 3, hence Rule 6 is the ‘best’ match. If
Rule 6 is subsequently deleted, then Rule 3 would be the 'best' match for this example label value.

APPENDIX - BJTRACE LOGGING FACILITY


Note: Classifier components log major incidents to the Window s Event Log. The features in this section
are intended only for use under the guidance of Classifier Customer Services.
Office and Email Classifier, and Classifier Administration also include a Trace View er diagnostic tool that
may be used under guidance from Classifier support.
The Boldon James tracing tool allow s tracing options to be set for Email and Office Classifier. BJTrace is
installed during the Email and Office Classifier installation procedure. It is also installed with Classifier
Administration and Clearance Service. To run the tool BJTrace is located at: C:\Program Files\Common
Files\Boldon James\Logging\BJTrace.exe. Click the BJTrace.exe icon to start the application.
Note: There are two versions of the bjlogger (32 and 64-bit). Logging from 32-bit applications may be
displayed in view er windows in the 64-bit bjtrace, and vice-versa. Whilst this may not in itself be an
issue, it can be confusing because (for example) changes made to the logging settings from the 64-bit
bjtrace environment w ill have no effect on logging from a 32-bit application seen in a view er window in
that environment (and vice-versa).
Note: It is important that the size of the memory-mapped file (used to hold logging output) is the same
in both 32 and 64 bit environments. This is the default, and the default size is usually sufficient. Having
different sizes defined in the 32 and 64 bit environments is likely to lead to a crash if the file is initially
created using the smaller size. Alternatively, the other w ay round, you may see the following
messagebox displayed: "MapView OfFile failed: error=5” if you attempt to open a viewer window in
bjtrace. The memory map file size setting is accessed from bjtrace, Tools/options menu item, select the
Advanced tab, and there is a textbox for configuring the shared memory size.

To enable logging of any of the Classifier component products, run the BJTrace tool. Choose File /
Application Information, then select the application to be traced and choose Edit Settings. The
following dialog displays:

Trace Viewer Configuration


Choose the appropriate application component name and set the logging level and destination. Click OK
and all logging that meets or exceeds the chosen log level will be sent to the view er or file as
configured.
Note: End user environments do not usually have the necessary permissions to configure logging levels
etc, and therefore the administrator may have to logon to establish the diagnostic environment in
preparation for an actual diagnostic session.

APPENDIX - AUDITING EVENT MESSAGES


Admin : Global Settings / Auditing
Classifier auditing is controlled through the Global Audit settings, and through Classifier Administration
/ Properties. If auditing is enabled event entries will appear in the Windows Application event log with
the following general appearance:

Event Log entry

p450
Classifier Administration Server Guide UM644001

Source will typically be BoldonJames-Classifier.


Event ID will be one of the values from the table of Event ID values shown below.
Task Category indicates the type of the event.
Item Details and Event Details will vary according to the event as in the following example:
Recipient clearance check :
Item Details:
Subject: test audit
Search Key: 731FB99731AC444C9ED350B73E224E40
Classifier-DocId: 81cd7a56-ed3a-43d6-ba09-ccd19e636860
Label: Confidential Sales

Event Details:
To: [email protected]
Cc: -
Bcc: -
From: [email protected]
Attachments: -
Rule: Recipient Clearance Check
Failed Recipients: [email protected]

The table below summarises the events that may appear depending upon the Audit settings and the
conditions that arise.
Note: Not all events may appear for each application. For example OWA does not support Portion
Marking, so it will never generate event 1125.
Note: Warning entries can be produced either when a rule fires and causes the user to be involved, or if
a rule fires but is configured as Audit only.
