Creating or editing tags

The Veritas comes with a large number of built-in tags, but you can create custom tags if the built-in ones do not meet your needs.

To create or edit a tag

  1. At the left of the Veritas , click Tags.
  2. Do one of the following:

    • To create a tag, click New.

    • To edit an existing tag, select it and then click Edit.

    Depending on the propertydefinition value setup in yaml, specific to the product, one of the following pop-up will appear on the screen.

  3. Set the fields as follows:

    Tag

    Specifies the tag name. The name must be unique, and it can contain up to 30 alphanumeric, space, and special characters. However, the name must not include the following characters:

    & : / \ % + < > ?

    If you are editing an existing tag, you cannot change its name.

    Description

    (Optional.) Provides a short description of the tag for display in the Veritas .

    Index Property

    (Optional.) Select one applicable option from the drop-down.

    Retention Category

    (Optional.) Select one applicable option from the drop-down. None option will be selected by default.

    Index Property

    Specifies the metadata property of the item in which you want to store the tag. There are four index properties from which to choose.

    • evtag.category. Assigns one or more categories to an item.

    • evtag.exclusion. Stops Enterprise Vault Compliance Accelerator from sampling an item that has this property

    • evtag.inclusion. Requires Enterprise Vault Compliance Accelerator to sample an item that has this property.

    • evaction.discard. Marks an item for deletion.

    See About the Enterprise Vault index properties.

    You can search for the assigned property values in applications such as Enterprise Vault Search, Compliance Accelerator, and Discovery Accelerator.

    Retention Category

    Specifies the retention category that you want to assign to items to which you assign this tag. This is optional except in cases where you specify evaction.discard as the index property.

    See How classification property values and retention categories interact.

    See Points to note on setting retention categories.
