Classify all data in a sharepoint folder without scanning content

Hey guys


Is it possible to tell purview to set a classification for all files in a sharepoint folder?
From what i see its asking for scanning patterns such as cc numbers?

I have a folder in the HR library and i just want it to encrypt all existing files with a sensivity labels. For new files SP will do it automatically but i cant figure out a way to do it for data at rest but per foler and not file content.


Thanks

    This was announced last March and may help. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to cover existing files in a library, but those can likely be handled in another way.
