Category Variables

When setting up your categorization triggers, you can enter variables such as %category% and %categoryscore% as smart tag names or values.

Do I store categories as smart tag names or values?

How you assign category variables to smart tag names and values has a significant effect on how the smart tags are displayed in the iConsole Search Results screen. Note also that you cannot use the iConsole to search for events by smart tag value.

Available Variables

When policy processing is complete, CA DataMinder saves the chosen category (or categories) to one of these variables. You can specify these variables as smart tag names or values in your categorization triggers.

%category%

When the smart tags are generated, this variable is replaced by the selected category.

If an email or file was assigned to multiple categories, a separate smart tag is generated for each category.

%categoryscore%

When the smart tags are generated, this variable is replaced by the score for the selected category.

If an email or file was assigned to multiple categories, a separate smart tag is generated for each category.

%closestcategories%

The three 'near miss' categories in a comma separated list. These are the three highest scoring categories that did not 'win' and which each scored 50 or above.

When the smart tags are generated, this variable is replaced by a comma separated list of up to three near miss categories. These can be useful additional indicators about an email's or file's content.

If a smart tag value configured with an insertion variable (for example, %closestcategories%) is empty after that variable has been substituted (because there were no closest categories available), then the smart tag is not stored on the CMS.

Note: 'Near miss' categories are the three highest scoring categories that remain after the selected category is removed from the list.

%scoredclosestcategories%

As for %closestcategories%, but the category score is appended to each near miss category. The resulting smart tag takes this format:

Expenses (40), Hotels (30), Travel (30)
