Automatic retention label policy based on file modified date

We have a requirement to apply a retention label if document is older than 10 years. Is there a way to achieve that using the automatic label policy?

    Auto-labeling can certainly apply labels based on a date (e.g. created, modified, sent, received) but remember an E5 license of some sort is needed any time you want to automatically do something in Purview. You'll first, of course, have to create your label. Then in the Label policies section of Data lifecycle management, you'll need to choose "Auto-apply a label". You'll essentially be creating a content query.

     

    For instance, if you wanted to do this for mailbox items, you'd build a content query to search for items older than 10 years... something like size>0(received<2013-10-01 OR sent<2013-10-01)

      Is it possible to automatically apply retentions labels to on premise files shares through Microsoft Purview Information Protection or other tools. We have deployed an AIP scanner and are scanning files but would like to generate a report or at least view files by create, modify date. Are there any Microsoft tools that could accomplish this, we have an E5 subscription.

       

      Thanks
