Relationship between FCI classification and other classification methods

Enterprise Vault 14.3 includes the next generation of our Veritas Information Classifier engine for classifying all new and existing archived content. The new engine provides multifaceted classification through advanced proximity searches, regular expressions, default keywords and patterns, and checksum validation. It can also classify content by confidence level and hit rate.

You can use the new Veritas Information Classifier in addition to or as an alternative to FCI classification. However, not only are the classification options in the Veritas Information Classifier more sophisticated than those in FCI classification but they are easier to implement. For this reason, the Veritas Information Classifier is the recommended way to classify archived content.

For more information on the Veritas Information Classifier, see the Classification using the Veritas Information Classifier guide. This guide includes instructions on how to convert FCI classification rules for use with the Veritas Information Classifier.
