Adding a file-type classifier

Administrator Help | Forcepoint DLP | Version 8.7.x

Use the File Properties > File Type by Type Properties page to add file-type classifiers.

To access this page from the Content Classifiers > File Properties page, make sure the By Type tab is selected, then select New from the toolbar at the top of the content pane.

Enter a Name for this file type, such as "Picture Files."

Enter a Description for this file type.

Use the Filter by field to enter criteria by which to filter the display, narrowing down the results shown.

Optionally include wildcards.

"?" represents any single character, as in the example "file_?.txt".

"*" represents zero or more of any character, such as "*.txt".

Click the magnifying glass button to apply the filter.

Select one or more Available File Types in the left pane, then click > to add the selection to this content classifier. The additions appear in the right pane. Scroll through the list of supported file types by clicking the video player controls above the list.

Click OK.
