Data In Motion Folders

The general trigger settings let you specify which types of document you want the agent to detect. For information about these general settings, see the Administration console online help.

This section focuses on the key Data In Motion settings for the CPSA. Specifically, you need to edit the following settings in the Data In Motion capture triggers (if you want to capture details about the files being printed) and control triggers (if you want to block or warn users):

• Which File Sources?

  In each Data In Motion trigger, this setting determines which documents are analyzed. Specifically, this setting instructs the trigger to analyze documents captured by any of the following agents:

  • Client File System Agent
  • Client Print System Agent
  • Network Boundary Agent

  You must ensure that the Client Print System Agent check box is selected! This enables the trigger to analyze documents being printed.

• Which Removable Device or Printer List?

  Included Removable Devices or Printers

  Excluded Removable Devices or Printers

  These settings jointly define a further printer filter for the CPSA. You can specify lists of included or excluded printers.

  You can specify the exact printer name, as shown in the Windows Printers and Faxes applet, or you can use ? and * wildcards. You can also check printer names in Windows Explorer; when you view the properties of a printer, its name is listed in the General tab of the Properties dialog.

  If you set up the trigger to use:

  • Included printers, the trigger only fires if a user tries to send a document to a listed printer.
  • Excluded printers, these printers are exempted from control by the CPSA. But attempts to send documents to any other (unlisted) printer will cause the trigger to fire.
• Intervention

  In each Data In Motion control action, the Intervention setting determines how the trigger handles attempts to print documents. The available options include Inform, Warn and, in particular, Block. If set to Warn, CA DLP allows the user to choose whether to continue and send their document to the printer; if set to block, the print operation via the selected printer is denied.
