Automated tagging of files
Hub for Teams’s Files Automated Tagging app allows to assign collaborative tags to files and folders based on rules, similar to Files access control.
Example
After installing the Files automated tagging app as described in Apps management navigate to the configuration and locate the Workflow settings.
In the example you can see a simple rule with only one condition. It will tag all files with the restricted tag Protected file that are uploaded into a folder that is tagged with Protect content. No user can remove the tag Protected file and therefore access control and retention both work fine without users being able to work around them.
In this case folder will be also tagged with tag Protected file, to avoid this, simply modify the rule to exclude Directory httpd/unix-directory from it.
Available rules
The available rules can be seen in the access control section: Available rules.
Note
Please note that the rules do not apply when creating external storages and groupfolders. The root folders of those need to be tagged manually with the desired initial tags. Items created inside later on apply the rules as defined.
