Creating or editing patterns

You cannot edit the built-in patterns, but you can edit any custom patterns that you have created.

To create or edit a pattern

  1. At the left of the Veritas Information Classifier, click Patterns.

  2. Do one of the following:

    • To create a pattern, click New.

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

  3. Set the fields as follows:

    Name

    Specifies the pattern name. The name must be unique, and it can contain up to 100 alphanumeric, space, and special characters.

    Description

    (Optional.) Provides a short description of the pattern for display in the Veritas Information Classifier.

    Type

    Specifies whether the pattern consists of text (one or more words or phrases) or a regular expression. The option that you choose here determines what you can set in the Value field.

    Value

    Specifies the pattern's text or regular expression value. The same guidelines that you must observe when you enter these values in a policy condition apply when you enter them as a pattern value.

    See About policy conditions.

  4. Test the pattern by clicking Browse and then choosing a document that ought to match it.

    After a few moments, the Veritas Information Classifier indicates whether it has found a match. When this is the case, you can click Show details to see the matching text and confidence levels.

  5. Click Save.
