Enforcing Default Retention Labels in Office 365
The addition of a default label would be a major improvement to the current system, especially when combined with targeted policies based on URL.
I'd also like to see the ability to define default labels on OneDrive that doesn't require the use of dynamic labelling (E5 only). This would allow organisations to have the ability to place some form of governance on OneDrive that doesn't require the users to self label content, instead a default retention period could be applied and labels provided to allow users to change the retention themselves.
Paul.
I should probably add, that we can define a default deletion/retention policy to OneDrive.. but this is not visible to users in the same way that labels are. If I apply a 2 year deletion policy, there is nothing to tell the user that their content will be deleted 2 years after creation.
If it instead had a default label applied called "Content Deletion - 2 years from creation" then this would be much more visible and consumable by the user.
