Security Label Configuration Steps

Specialized Administration > Ensuring Data Security > Security Labels and Agreements > Configuring Security Labels > Security Label Configuration Steps

The following list outlines the steps necessary to enable and configure security labels and agreements for your Windchill solution. The subsequent sections provide detailed information on each step. Make sure that you have completed the items in Before You Begin Configuring Security Labels prior to starting your configuration.

Because this configuration involves modifying PTC-provided files, it is important that you understand and follow the practices detailed in the Managing Customizations chapter of the Windchill Customization Guide. Because PTC-provided files can subsequently be updated by PTC in a maintenance release, you should use a “safe area” for managing your files so that your configurations are not lost when maintenance updates are installed. The Managing Customizations chapter provides information on setting up and using a “safe area” for storing your site-modified files, as well as keeping versions of the original PTC-provided files, and providing other best practice information. You should familiarize yourself with this information before proceeding with this configuration.
