Classify all data in a sharepoint folder without scanning content

Brass Contributor

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

Check out Configure a default sensitivity label for a SharePoint document library

 

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.
