Create a Report on Classification Hits

After classifying files with saved policies, you can easily search and see their classifications on the Files and Reports tabs. The search results can show details about the content that triggered the classification policy, including the specific rule within that policy.

The 6 Classification Hit Fields

There are 6 classification hit fields that can be added to any file search or report query:

  • Classification Hit – File content that triggered the classification policy.
  • Classification Hit Confidence – Confidence level of file content that triggered the classification policy.
  • Classification Hit Context – Context of a file content that triggered the classification policy.
  • Classification Hit Leading Words – File content that appears just before the content that triggered the classification policy.
  • Classification Hit Policy – The name of the classification policy that the file content triggered.
  • Classification Hit Rule – The name of the rule that was triggered by the file content of the classification policy.
  • Classification Hit Trailing Words – File content that appears just after the content that triggered the classification policy.

Reporting on Classification Hits

While searching, you can include classification hit fields in the criteria. Keep in mind, if a file is classified with multiple policies, it will show up multiple times in the results, once for each classification rule it has found within the document. For instance, if a file has 3 policies, it will appear 3 times in the results, each time with different data in the added classification hit fields.
