The Veritas Information Classifier evaluates the items that you submit for classification against a set of policies. Each policy specifies the conditions that the items must meet to be assigned a specific classification tag. For example, you can create a simple policy to assign the tag "Financial" to items that contain any of the terms fraud, cover up, and write off.

The Veritas Information Classifier comes with a large number of built-in policies, but you can create custom policies if the built-in ones do not meet your needs.

Initially, all the policies are disabled. You must enable a policy if you want the Veritas Information Classifier to check for and tag the items that match the policy.
