Create incident reports for DLP policy detections

Applies to: Exchange Server 2013

In Exchange Server 2013, you can establish an action to create an incident report within a DLP policy rule set. Additionally, you can indicate to whom the report should be sent and what to do with the original message. The incident report can contain any of the following information.

The following is a complete list of the line names in the incident report template. The format column describes how to recognize each field in the report.
