About the example classification rules
Note:
The example rules are for test purposes only and may not deliver the required results in a production environment.
The example rules are in a single XML file, Example Rules.xml, which is in the Classification subfolder of the Enterprise Vault program folder; for example, C:\Program Files (x86)\Enterprise Vault\Classification\Example Rules.xml.
The example rules have the following features in common:
They have a scope of "Enterprise Vault": they classify items in the Enterprise Vault classification cache folder only.
They use the Veritas Information Classifier method to search for strings and regular expression patterns in items.
When the rules find a match, they assign an appropriate value to one of the four Enterprise Vault classification properties on the matching item: evtag.category, evtag.exclusion, evtag.inclusion, or evaction.discard.
For example, some of the rules search for strings in the form of credit card numbers. If the rules find an item that contains such a string, they assign the value "PII" to the item's evtag.category property, to indicate that the item contains personally identifiable information.
Table: Example classification rules describes the classification rules in the example rule set.
