Creating policies
The Veritas comes with a large number of built-in policies, but you can create custom policies if the built-in ones do not meet your needs.
You can also edit existing policies. However, in the case of the built-in policies, the changes that you can make are quite limited.
To create a new policy
- In the left navigation pane, click Policies.
- Click New.
The New Policy dialog box appears.
- Specify the following details:
Name
Specifies the policy name. The name must be unique, and it can contain up to 100 alphanumeric, space, and special characters.
Status
Enables or disables the policy. You must enable the policy if you want the Veritas to check for and tag the items that match the policy.
Description
(Optional.) Provides a short description of the policy for display in the Veritas .
Risk weight
Specify the risk weight for the policy. This is a mandatory field.
By default, the risk weight value of all the custom policies and most of the built-in policies is configured as 1. Users can modify the risk weight value in the range of 0 to 10.
Tags
Nominates one or more tags that you want to apply to the items that match the policy conditions. Click the Tags field to choose from a list of the available tags.
Conditions
Specifies one or more conditions that an item must meet for the Veritas to consider it a match.
Click + Condition to add a new condition for this policy.
Click + Group to add a new group of conditions for this policy.
- To test the policy that you are creating, under Test, click Browse and then select an item that ought to match it.
Note:
This test facility can help to confirm that the policy works as you expect. However, we recommend that you run the PowerShell cmdlet Get-EVClassificationVICTags against one or more test items to make certain that this is the case.
To test the same document again, click the Refresh icon.
To perform sentiment analysis on the selected item (to determine whether the sentiment associated with the item is positive, negative, or neutral), select the Perform sentiment analysis check box. If this check box is selected, a sentiment score tag is displayed to show the sentiment analysis score. The sentiment analysis score details are displayed if the policy has a condition associated with the sentiment, and the item fulfills this criteria.
To extract information from images and perform classification using Optical Character Recognition (OCR), select the Include text in images check box. It extracts the English language text.
Note:
The Include text in images check box is displayed only when the Tesseract software is installed on the system where Veritas is running.
Limitations
Optical Character Recognition processing rate for PDF files is considerably slow.
In addition to this, OCR will not extract information from:
images that are rotated for 45 degree.
a single tiff or gif file having multiple pages.
handwritten image.
passport image.
Refer to the test functionality results of the sample file for better understanding.
After finding a match, do the following:
- After testing the policy, click Save.
