Define the Global Options

Global options are settings that apply to all applicable policies. For example, you can specify a target folder for any scanned files that need to be copied to safe location.

To edit the global options

1. Go to the Policy tab.
2. Double-click the policy pack that you want to edit.

   For example, the Standard Policy Pack global options are:

   Action Configuration: Data At Rest

   Apply to files scanned by the FSA or CFSA. If required, you can copy scanned files to any specified folder. You can specify separate target folders for emails for Report, Replace and Delete actions.

   Action Configuration: Data In Motion - Email

   Apply to emails detected by any CA DataMinder email agent or any inbound or outbound e‑mails detected by CA DataMinder Network. If required, you can forward these emails to another address. For example, you can forward inappropriate emails to a manager. You can specify separate forwarding addresses for different policy actions (Monitor, Encrypt, Warn or Block).

   Security Officer Contact Information

   Specify the name and contact telephone number for a security officer. This contact information is automatically included in any messages shown to users as a result of policy processing (for example, when an email generates a warning), enabling the user to directly contact the security officer if necessary.

   Miscellaneous: Internal Domains Variable

   Specify a list of internal domains. When CA DataMinder analyzes an email, if a recipient's email address matches the specified internal domain, the email is flagged as internal.

   Miscellaneous: Global Policy Variables

   Define various lists and values that apply to all policies. For example, you can define a list of excluded file types which are always exempted from policy processing.
