Component details

Component Name: Seclore for Desktop Agents
Component ID: Seclore.CommonConfiguration
 

Click Add Parameter to add any of the following parameters.

 

Enable Classification butter bar on Unclassified emails

This parameter controls the display of the classification butter bar in Outlook. When set to 'Always,' the butter bar will appear on all emails, including unclassified ones. When set to 'Default,' it only will appear on classified emails.

This is an optional configuration. If not set, it will follow the same behavior as the 'Default' setting. 

Here's how you configure it.

Note: The classification bar will display the text 'Item not classified' on unclassified emails.
 

Disable Classification butter bar on Classified files

This parameter controls the display of the classification butter bar in Microsoft Office applications. When set to 'Never,' the butter bar will not be shown on all files, including classified ones. When set to 'Default,' it will appear on classified files.

This is an optional configuration. If not set or spelled incorrectly, it will follow the same behavior as the 'Default' setting.

Here's how you configure it.

 

Enable Copilot for protected Office files

This parameter controls the visibility of the Microsoft Copilot chat pane in Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. By default, the chat pane is disabled in all three applications. You will see the Copilot chat pane for protected documents only by configuring this parameter. When enabled, a watermark will appear within the Copilot chat pane for protected content .

Here's how you configure it.

Note: The default value for this parameter is 0. If an invalid value is provided, the system will revert to the default behavior.
 

Maximum Classification Labels Display in Office Ribbon

This parameter allows you to specify the maximum number of classification labels displayed in the Office ribbon. When the number exceeds this limit, additional labels will appear in a dropdown.

Here's how you configure it.

 

Note:
If the configuration value is not provided, it will default to 6.
If the configuration value is negative or 0, it will be considered as 0 and all labels will be displayed in a dropdown layout.
If the configuration value is between 1 and 6:
* If the number of labels is less than or equal to the configuration value, they will be displayed in a button layout.
* If the number of labels is greater than the configuration value, they will be displayed in a dropdown layout.
If the configuration value is greater than 6, it will be capped at 6, and the same logic will apply (≤6 → button layout, >6 → dropdown layout).
 

Maximum Time for Initial Installation Report

This parameter specifies the maximum time (in minutes) allowed for sending the initial agent installation report to the Policy Server.

Here's how you configure it.

Note:

 

Minimum Time for Initial Installation Report

This parameter specifies the minimum time (in minutes) allowed for sending the initial agent installation report to the Policy Server.

Here's how you configure it.

Note:

 

Maximum Interval for Periodic Installation Reports

This parameter specifies the maximum time interval (in minutes) for sending a periodic agent installation report to the Policy Server.

Here's how you configure it.

Note:
The desktop agent sends periodic installation reports at defined intervals.
This configuration is optional. If no value is set, the default is 1440 minutes (24 hours).
 

Minimum Interval for Periodic Installation Reports

This parameter specifies the minimum time interval (in minutes) for sending a periodic agent installation report to the Policy Server.

Here's how you configure it.

Note:

Example: If MinPeriodicTimeToSendInstallationReport is 60 minutes and MaxPeriodicTimeToSendInstallationReport is 180 minutes, the first report will be sent at a random time within the 120-minute window, and subsequent reports will be sent every 2 hours.
Randomizing the first report helps prevent all agents from sending reports at the same time, reducing load on the Policy Server.
 

Configuring Auto Save behavior in Microsoft Office applications

This parameter lets you control AutoSave behavior separately for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint when users open protected files. It allows you to enable or disable AutoSave state management for each application. Here's how you can configure it:

 

This configuration is application specific, order independent, and case insensitive. Example: `Word:1, PowerPoint:0, Excel:1`

This means: Word → 1 (enabled), PowerPoint → 0 (disabled), Excel → 1 (enabled)

Note: Spacing and casing do not matter.

Valid examples: `word:1,excel:0,powerpoint:1`  or `WORD:1 , PowerPoint:0 , EXCEL:1` or `PowerPoint:0 , EXCEL:1`

Value Interpretation for each application:

Default Behavior: If the value is anything other than 0 or 1, the system falls back to the default behavior as per the application.

Behavior when this feature is enabled: If the feature is enabled for an application, the system manages AutoSave when protected files are opened. AutoSave is turned off for currently open unprotected files, and only files that originally had AutoSave turned ON are tracked for restoration. When all protected files are closed, AutoSave is restored only for tracked files that are still open.

Behavior when this feature is disabled: If the feature evaluates to disabled for an application, no AutoSave state management is performed and the application continues to behave normally without intervention.

 

Maximum Time for Initial Agent Installation Report

This parameter helps you configure the maximum time before which initial agent installation report is sent to the Policy Server. The initial agent installation report is the first report sent after installation of the desktop agent. The same timer is also used when sending an installation report after a component upgrade. This is an optional configuration. Here's how you configure it:

 

Minimum Time for Initial Agent Installation Report

This parameter helps you configure the minimum time after which the initial agent installation report is sent to the Policy Server. The initial agent installation report is the first report sent after installation of the desktop agent. The same timer is also used when sending an installation report after a component upgrade. Together with the maximum time, it defines the time window for sending the initial report. The report is sent at a random time within the configured range. This is an optional configuration. Here's how you configure it:

 

Maximum Time for Periodic Agent Installation Report

This parameter helps you control the maximum time interval for sending periodic agent installation reports to the Policy Server.  The desktop agent sends these reports at regular intervals after installation. This is an optional configuration. Here's how you configure it:

 

Minimum Time for Periodic Agent Installation Report

This parameter helps you control the minimum time interval for sending periodic agent installation reports to the Policy Server. Together with the maximum periodic time, it defines the time window for the first periodic report. The first periodic report is sent at a random time within the configured range, and subsequent periodic reports are sent at a fixed interval based on the configured time difference. This helps prevent all agents from sending reports at nearly the same time. This is an optional configuration. Here's how you configure it:

 

Block Unclassified Attachments in Classified Email

This parameter helps you control whether users can send unclassified attachments in classified emails. When set to 1, the parameter is enabled and users cannot send unclassified attachments in classified mail.
