Document Properties groups allow for content inspection using labels that Boldon James Classifier applications stamp on documents. One can implement this by configuring a group to recognize desired labels and then creating content-aware rules based on that groups. The rules can be applied to both devices and network protocols, thus enabling the use of Boldon James Classifier labels to control content access/sending permissions, content-aware shadowing, and/or simple content detection.

For MS Office documents, Boldon James Classifier stores its labels in document properties. When a document is stamped with a label, a number of new properties containing the label data are added to the document. These properties and their values can be explored in the standard dialog box for viewing document properties in MS Office applications. Most of those properties have the bj prefix at the beginning of their name.

A label can be the exact value of a document property, such as bjDocumentSecurityLabel: This information is Classified | Internal. To set up the group to recognize a label like this, one should apply the syntax <property name>=<property value> in the Custom & classification fields box (see description of that box in the topic Document Properties Content Groups).

Boldon James Classifier can also represent its labels in the form of XML data held in document properties. Labels of this kind are referred to as SISL labels. For MS Office documents, SISL label data is stored in the property named bjDocumentLabelXML. A part of the label’s XML data string can be stored in the supplemental property bjDocumentLabelXML-0.

The SISL label value is the ID of the uid element in the label’s XML data. The ID can be a string or numeric value. To set up the group to recognize such a label, one should apply the syntax that indicates the ID of the uid element of the SISL label: uid=<ID value> (see description of the Custom & classification fields box in the topic Document Properties Content Groups).

For example, in the bjDocumentLabelXML property of an MS Office document you might encounter the following SISL label data:

To recognize this label, specify the following entry in the Custom & classification fields box: uid=id_classification_internalonly (without quotes).
