20. Click the Add button at the bottom of the page.

MIP Label Synchronization with Spirion

When the “Synchronize MIP Labels” Service Task is executed during maintenance (or performed manually), the MIP label becomes available in the Spirion Sensitive Data Platform console.

The MIP labels can then be selected in a Scan Playbook.

How to Navigate to the MIP label in a Scan Playbook

Use the following steps to navigate to the MIP label option from the drop-down menu in a Spirion Sensitive Data Platform Scan Playbook:

1. Log in to Spirion Sensitive Data Platform.
2. From the left side navigation menu select Scans → Scan Playbooks → [Edit/Create a playbook] → Add Action → select "MIP Label".
   
3. The "Select Microsoft Label" drop-down shows synced Purview labels.
4. If the label list is empty, you must manually trigger the "Synchronize MIP Labels" service task first (Service Tasks).

MIP Label in a Scan Playbook — UI Flow

When editing a playbook and selecting an action, the MIP Label option appears in the Select Action drop-down alongside other actions such as: Classify, Quarantine, Redact, etc. See the example screenshots provided below.

Once you select MIP Label, three fields appear:

1. Select Microsoft Label — A drop-down list populated with the sensitivity labels synced from Microsoft Purview (for example, "Confidential", "Highly Confidential", "Public", "Internal", or any custom labels you've created). These are the label names as defined in Purview.
2. Label Application — A drop-down that controls how/when the label is applied (for example, whether to apply or remove).
3. Automated Action — A checkbox to apply the action automatically (vs. requiring manual execution from the Playbook Executor).

Note: The "Select Microsoft Label" drop-down shows only labels that have been:

• Created and published to a label policy in Purview
• Synced to the console via the "Synchronize MIP Labels" service task
