Policy

Specify custom labels to use with the Readiness Toolkit

This policy setting allows you to specify up to four custom labels to categorize and filter data in reports created by the Readiness Toolkit for Office. Labels are available in reports that are based on scans of the most recently used Office documents and installed add-ins on the user’s computer. You can specify any string for the custom labels. For example, you can use a label to indicate the user’s department, title, or geographic location. When the Readiness Toolkit runs on the user’s computer, the custom labels are collected and are made available in the reports that are created. For example, you can filter the report to show only data from the Finance Department. Assign labels in a consistent manner, such as always using Label 1 for department. If you enable this policy setting, the custom labels that you specify will be available in reports created by the Readiness Toolkit. If you disable or don’t configure this policy setting, custom labels won’t be available in reports created by the Readiness Toolkit. Note: If you're using the Office Telemetry Dashboard and have already configured tags (labels), the Readiness Toolkit automatically collects those labels during its scan of the user's computer and will make them available in its reports. You don't need to enable this policy setting unless you want to specify different labels. Labels you specify for the Readiness Toolkit won't appear in the Office Telemetry Dashboard.
