Step 5: Create the ACCESS_LOCATIONS Policy Data Labels

In this step, you create data labels for the policy you created in Step 4: Define the ACCESS_LOCATIONS Policy-Level Components. To create the data label, you must assign a numeric tag to each level. Later on, the tag number will be stored in the security column when you apply the policy to a table. It has nothing to do with the sensitivity of the label; it is only used to identify the labels for the policy.

To create the data labels: 

1. Return to the Label Security policies page by selecting the Label Security Policies link.

2. Select the selection button for the ACCESS_LOCATIONS policy.

3. In the Actions list, select Data Labels, and then click Go.

   The Data Labels page appears.

4. Click Add.

   The Create Data Label page appears.

5. Enter the following information:

   • Numeric Tag: Enter 1000.

   • Level: Enter PUB.

6. Click OK.

   The data label appears in the Data Labels page.

7. Click Add again, and then create a data label for the CONF label as follows:

   • Numeric Tag: Enter 2000.

   • Level: Select CONF from the list.

8. Click OK.

9. Click Add again, and then create a data label for the SENS label as follows:

   • Numeric Tag: Enter 3000.

   • Level: Select SENS from the list.

10. Click OK.

    At this stage, the CONF, PUB, and SENS labels appear in the Data Labels page.

    Later, the tag number will be stored in the security column when you apply the policy to the HR.LOCATIONS table. It has nothing to do with the sensitivity of the label; it is only used to identify the labels for the policy.
