Google Drive labels are now integrated into the Metomic platform, allowing you to bring your custom labels from Google Drive into Metomic, display them on your dashboard, and filter data accordingly. This new functionality enhances the way in which you can categorise and manage your files within Metomic, leveraging familiar labelling conventions for better data visibility, compliance, and security.

Why Use Google Drive Labels?

Google Drive labels offer a versatile and user-friendly way to categorise files. These labels serve as metadata tags that can be applied to documents, making it easier to sort, search, and manage files. Here are some reasons why you might find Google Drive labels beneficial:

1. Organisation: Labels help you keep your files organised by tagging documents with relevant keywords or categories, especially useful in large repositories where traditional folder structures might fall short.
2. Searchability: With labels, you can quickly find files by searching for specific tags, enhancing the search functionality within Google Drive.
3. Consistency: Labels ensure a consistent way of categorising files across your team, important in collaborative environments where everyone needs to follow the same labelling conventions.
4. Automation: You can use Google data loss prevention (DLP) rules to automatically apply labels to Drive files based on detection of sensitive content.

Combining Google Drive Labels and Metomic

Integrating Google Drive labels with Metomic enhances your data management capabilities. Here's how you can combine these two powerful tools:

1. Label Ingestion: Metomic supports the ingestion of custom Google Drive labels, meaning any labels you have created in Google Drive can be imported into Metomic.
2. Dashboard Display: Once the labels are ingested, they are displayed on your Metomic dashboard. This visual representation helps you quickly identify and categorise your files based on the imported labels.
3. Filtering: Metomic allows you to filter your files using the imported Google Drive labels, enabling you to narrow down your data view and focus on specific categories or tags.
4. Automated Workflows: Metomic works alongside Google DLP which allows you to leverage googles own auto-classification engine to do the auto-tagging and then you can use our wide range of heavily configurable actions on top thanks to Workflows.
