In October 2021, Microsoft announced a significant change in how retention labels could be applied to locations. The concept for adaptive scopes is pretty straightforward, deploy labels or apply labels automatically based on some piece (or pieces) of metadata the system can scan for. This means you can now dynamically assign retention labels with adaptive scopes to your SharePoint (including Teams), OneDrive, and Exchange locations without directly declaring them in the policy.
Previously I discussed what a property bag was and how to configure it within your environment. The next step in utilizing this property bag is to make it searchable. This can help users find locations they need to based on the site’s property bag values. Even better, however, Microsoft 365 can use the property bag values to enhance features within Microsoft Purview, such as retention policies and retention label policies. In this post, we’ll cover how to make your property bag searchable by linking a property bag to a managed property.
Anyone who has worked with SharePoint development in the golden age of server-side object model development (SOM) likely used the property bag for different requirements in their solutions. With the onset of new development techniques and foundations, the property bag went by the wayside and wasn’t used as often (or at all) when creating solutions. With the new adaptive scope feature in Microsoft Purview, property bag usage has made a resurgence as a necessary location to store values when assigning policies. I will be covering these features in a future post, but for now, I’d like to set the foundation for these posts by discussing property bags and their usage.
Had a great session this week at the latest Microsoft 365 conference in Las Vegas (December 2022). In this session, I was given the opportunity to demonstrate Microsoft Information Protection to a room of over 100 people. I had a great time and am very thankful for all who attended. As promised, I have uploaded the slide deck from my session. Please grab it and let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you!
