About adding tags to devices, files, folders, and shares
Information Governance lets you add text-based properties (key, value pair) to file system objects such as files, folders, and shares on the file systems that it monitors. Tagging files, folders, and shares with attributes provides additional classification information that you can use for reporting and remediation.
For example, you may want to tag folders with the business name, or assign descriptors to folders that have special permission. Or, for instance, you can tag shares with department names for the purpose of chargeback.
Information Governance supports the metadata framework on CIFS, NFS, and DFS paths, and on files and folders on SharePoint servers and Enterprise Box accounts.
You can generate a Information Governance Query Language (DQL) report to get the information about the tags attached to file system objects, such as, share names and paths. For example of DQL queries, see the Arctera Insight Information Governance Programmer's Reference Guide.
To add tag for enriched reporting from 3rd party systems, refer to the Administrator's guide or contact your System Administrator.
