Summary of default behavior for custom filtering

Table: Example custom filter and custom property configurations shows ten different configurations for custom filtering and properties.

The resulting actions taken by archiving tasks in each case are described in Table: Resulting actions for example configurations.

In all cases it is assumed that the appropriate registry settings have been configured to enable the archiving task for custom filtering. The following configuration entities are considered:

  • Named XML ruleset files in the folder, Enterprise Vault\Custom Filter Rules. In the example cases shown, Marketing.xml and Sales.xml are named ruleset files for the provisioning groups Marketing and Sales respectively.

    The examples in this section show named ruleset files for provisioning. You can also create named ruleset files specific Domino journaling locations.

  • The default ruleset file for all types of archiving, Enterprise Vault\Custom Filter Rules\Default Filter Rules.xml.

  • The custom properties file, Enterprise Vault\Custom Filter Rules\Custom Properties.xml, with custom properties defined for indexing.

  • Content category entries in the Custom Properties.xml file.

  • The registry setting, IGNORENODEFAULT, with a value of 1.
