To Change Label Component Names Used in Label Builders (Optional)

1. In the security administrator role in an ADMIN_LOW workspace, open the label_encodings file for editing.

   See "To Modify the label_encodings (4) File", if needed.

2. Find the line in the LOCAL DEFINITIONS section that defines the labels components names used in label builder dialog boxes.

   Classification Name= Class; Compartments Name= Comps;

3. If desired, change the defaults Class, and Comps.

   The example shows the alternate names used in label_encodings.simple.

   Classification Name= Classification; Compartments Name= Departments;

4. If you are done, save and close the file.

To Assign a Color to a Label or Word

If no color is defined for a classification in the COLOR NAMES section of the label_encodings file, the color black is used.

1. In the security administrator role, open the label_encodings file for editing.

   See "To Modify the label_encodings (4) File", if needed.

2. Find the COLOR NAMES section.

   COLOR NAMES: label= Admin_Low; color= #bdbdbd; label= u; color= green; label= c; color= blue; label= s; color= yellow; label= ts; color= red; word= sb; color= cyan; word= cc; color= magenta; label= Admin_High; color= #636363;

3. Optionally, define colors for individual compartment words.

   To distinguish certain compartment words irrespective of the classification with which they may be associated, assign a separate color to those words.

   word= EMG; color= RedOrange;

4. Optionally, define colors for sensitivity labels.

   In the example, the color assigned to NEED_TO_KNOW SYSADM is bluePurple.

   label= NEED TO KNOW SYSADM; color= bluePurple;

5. Make sure a color is defined for each classification.

   If a color is not defined for a classification, the background color used is black, so, make sure to define every classification.

   In the screen below, the classification REGISTERED is assigned the color red, and the NEED_TO_KNOW SYSADM classification is assigned the color blue.

   label= REGISTERED; color= red; label= NEED TO KNOW; color= blue;

   The three steps shown combined in the following example have the following results:

   • Any label with the word EMG always displays with the color RedOrange.

   • The label NEED_TO_KNOW SYSADM always displays with the color orange.

   • Any other label containing the NEED_TO_KNOW classification displays with the color blue (unless the label contains the word EMG).

   • Any label with the REGISTERED classification displays with the color red

   • Any label with any classification not defined displays with the color black

   word= EMG; color= RedOrange; label= NEED TO KNOW SYSADM; color= bluePurple; label= REGISTERED; color= red; label= NEED TO KNOW; color= blue;

6. If you are done, save and close the file.
