Security Markings contained in documentThis feature is only available if the 'Use Document Content Indexing' feature has been enabled in the configuration window by your systems administrator.
For each record being sent, InfoSecurity Guard compares the security classification and dissemination limiting markers of the record with the contents of its document.
If a document does not contain a security marking that is on the record, a cross checkbox will be displayed (as illustrated below).

Document Marker ActionThis feature is only available if the 'Use Document Content Indexing' feature has been enabled in the configuration window by your systems administrator and document content indexing has been properly configured in Content Manager.

The three options for the Document Marker Action are Prevent; Warn and Do Nothing.
PreventIf the Document Marker Action is set to 'Prevent', then when you click the Confirm button, a dialog will be displayed to indicate that the email will not be generated unless the security markers on the Record match the security markers in the document.

SECURITY CLASSIFICATIONS AND DISSEMINATION LIMITING MARKERS

Security classifications can be managed in Content Manager by using either security levels or additional fields. Dissemination limiting markers can be managed in Content Manager by using either security caveats or additional fields.
When using additional fields to manage security, it is important to understand that these additional fields add just a ?stamp? or marking in the metadata of the record. No system settings are updated when these additional fields are used.
Alternatively, if security levels and security caveats are being used, any internal staff who try to access the record via a tr5, will only be able to see the record if their profile in Content Manager the appropriate security has applied.
