About tags

Every Veritas Information Classifier policy is associated with one or more tags. When an item that you have submitted for classification matches the conditions of a policy, the Veritas Information Classifier assigns the associated tags to the item. For example, the Veritas Information Classifier assigns the tag "Corporate-Ethics" to items that match the built-in policy "Ethics and Code of Conduct Policy". In applications like Data Insight and Enterprise Vault, you can search for and filter items according to the tags that the Veritas Information Classifier has assigned to them.

When you create or edit a tag, you can choose the following:

  • Index Property. This is the metadata property of items in which to store the tag. The property that you choose determines how Enterprise Vault processes the items to which the Veritas Information Classifier assigns the tag. For example, it can determine whether Enterprise Vault automatically discards the items, or whether the items are considered important enough to include in a Compliance Accelerator review.

  • Retention Category. At the same time that the Veritas Information Classifier assigns the tag to items, it can also assign a retention category. The retention category specifies the minimum amount of time for which to retain the items. It also determines whether users can manually delete the items, and whether Enterprise Vault can automatically delete the items after their retention period has expired.

    By default, none of the built-in tags has an associated retention category. You must edit the tags if you want to associate them with retention categories.
