Creating a Content-based Classification Rule

In the process of creating a content-based classification rule, File Access Manager performs an AND operation between each expression. However, some operators act as an internal OR (for example, the IN operator).

To create a Content-Based rule, perform the following steps:

  1. Navigate to Compliance > Data Classification > Rules.

  2. Click + New Rule >Content-Based Rule

    A New Content-Based Rule window displays.

    The available Content-Based Rule fields include:

    Rule Name (mandatory field)

    Rule names are unique. It is best to create a naming convention that avoids using the same name twice.

    Categories

    One or more categories to tag files that meet rule requirements.

    To add a new category to the Categories list, click Manage Categories and add a new item.

  3. In the web client, navigate to Compliance > Data Classification > Rules > New Rule > .

  4. In the Rule Criteria section, add the general details to the Content-Based Classification rule.

    Users can search for existing rules, using filters.

    Users can perform the following actions on rules:

    • Edit (only user-defined rules)

    • Duplicate

    • Delete (only user-defined rules)

  5. Create an expression and click Save.

    Note: Users can edit or delete existing rule criteria.

  6. Add additional rule requirements as needed.

  7. Click Save to save the new content-based rule.

    The system adds the rules to the Rules list.
