Setting the default AIP classic label on a OneDrive or SharePoint Online: Document Library

Hi

 

I am supporting  a rollout of AIP "classic" labels & retention labels to both OneDrive and SharePoint.

 

One issue we have found, is not being able to set the default label for a document library. SharePoint happily sets the default retention label  through the UI or via PowerShell.

However, we have not found a way to do this using AIP "classic" labels.  Has anyone been able to do this?

  • Daniel Westerdale AIP label integration with SPO will include this functionality and is currently in private preview. We also have a work-around in the current version by using the Label by Custom Property advanced setting in the AIP client, but given that this will be addressed natively in SPO once we release the version in preview I do not think it is worth implementing a work-around unless you need it implemented today.

      Esaggese This is good news, thanks for being so candid.   I take you it you are referring to an updated version of the the SharePoint Online Management Shell. plus UI enhancements?   Finally, will this support cover both AIP "classic" and AIP unified labelling?  We don't mind if it is just the former 😉!  I will report back to the project team and update this post if there is an immediate requirement for the "workaround".

       

      Thanks again.

        The SPO changes are both on the management side (e.g. DLP integration) and the UI (web apps, list views, etc.). 

        It is based on Unified Labeling, so while it right now supports documents protected with either client, the plan is to have everything moved to UL by the time this releases as GA (already the UL client has mostly feature parity to the Classic client, plus some new features).

      Esaggese We're trying to fulfill a similar requirement for one of our customers. Any ETA for when this will be moved from Private Preview to Preview? Cheers!

        Seth Weddon Unfortunately we have no timelines for a public preview at this point, the SPO team is working on addressing the issues identified during the private preview so far before moving into a broader preview program.
