Sensitivity Label Templates
Sensitivity label templates are saved label configurations held in CIPP rather than in a tenant, so a label you have settled on can be deployed to any number of customers without rebuilding it each time. Templates get here in three ways: capture one from a live label with Create template based on label on the Sensitivity Labels page, author one from JSON in the deploy drawer, or import one from a community repository.
Action Buttons
Deploy Sensitivity Label
Opens a drawer that creates a sensitivity label in one or more tenants from a template or from parameters you supply yourself.
Select Tenants
The tenants to create the label in. At least one is required, and you can pick several to deploy the same label across a group of customers in one go.
Select a template (optional)
Picks a saved sensitivity label template. Choosing one fills Parameters (JSON) with that template's stored settings, and also loads the template's colour into Label Color.
Label Color (optional)
A colour picker for the label. It accepts any hex colour, where the Purview portal offers only its preset palette. A colour picked here overrides any colour set in the JSON below. Leave it empty to keep whatever the JSON specifies.
Parameters (JSON)
The label settings as JSON. Required. A worked example is shown in the field until you type into it, covering the display name, tooltip, content types, encryption settings, content marking and a nested PolicyParams block for the label policy that publishes it.
Browse Catalog
Opens a drawer listing the sensitivity label templates published in the community repositories you have configured, so you can bring one into CIPP.
Search Templates
Narrows the list by template name, category or repository.
Repository
Restricts the list to chosen repositories. Shown once you have more than one repository configured.
Category
Restricts the list to chosen categories. Shown once the available templates span more than one category.
Card and list view
Switches between template cards and a compact list.
All, Not Imported, Imported, Updates
Filters by import state. Updates narrows to templates you already imported that have since changed upstream.
Select all
Selects every template currently listed, for importing in one go.
Force re-import
Imports a template again even when CIPP already holds it, overwriting the copy you have.
Import Selected
Imports everything you have ticked.
Each template also carries its own Preview and Import buttons, and is chipped Imported or Update Available so you can see its state at a glance.
Be sure to check out Catalog for more on setting up repositories.
Table Details
Display Name
The label name users will see in Office apps once the template is deployed.
Name
The label's internal name in Purview.
Comment
The description saved with the template.
Content Type
What the label will be applicable to, such as files and emails.
Encryption Enabled
Whether the label will apply encryption to content it is put on.
GUID
CIPP's identifier for the template. Quote it when raising a support request about a specific template.
A template captured from a live label has its rights management template identifiers stripped, because those only mean anything in the tenant the label came from. The same applies to the parent label: CIPP stores the parent's name alongside it and matches the parent again by name in whichever tenant you deploy to.
Table Actions
Save to GitHub
Publishes the selected template to a repository you have write access to, prompting for the repository and a commit message. Greyed out unless the GitHub integration is enabled.
Delete Template
Removes the selected template from CIPP. Labels already deployed from it are unaffected.
