ProcedureHow to Specify Handling Instructions in CHANNELS

Create the strings that state handling instructions on printer banner pages.

Before You Begin

You must be in the Security Administrator role in the global zone.

  1. Plan the prefixes and suffixes.

    For assistance, use Planning the Channels in a Worksheet.

  2. Edit the label_encodings file.

    Use the Edit Encodings action.

  3. Modify the CHANNELS section of the file.


    CHANNELS:
    
    WORDS:
    1. Enter the prefixes or suffixes.

      The WORDS in the CHANNELS lines of banner and trailer pages become prefixes or suffixes.


      CHANNELS:
      
      WORDS:
      name= CHANNELS JOINTLY;         suffix;
      name= CHANNELS ONLY;            suffix;
      name= HANDLE VIA;               prefix;
    2. Enter the names of words to associate with already-defined compartments in sensitivity labels.

      You can use the defined prefixes and suffixes.


      name= (CH C);   prefix= HANDLE VIA; suffix= CHANNELS JOINTLY;
      compartments= 6;
      name= (CH B);   prefix= HANDLE VIA; suffix= CHANNELS JOINTLY;
      compartments= 1;
      name= (CH A);   prefix= HANDLE VIA; suffix= CHANNELS JOINTLY;
      compartments= 0;
