Selecting and Scheduling the Data Classification Settings

To associate an application with a data classification service and set the schedule:

  1. Go to Admin > Applications to open the Edit page of the required application.

  2. Scroll through the list, or use the filter to find the application.

  3. Select the edit icon Profile on the line of the application.

  4. Select Next until you reach the Data Classification settings page.

    The actual entry fields vary according to the application type.

Central Data Classification Service - Associate the application with a Central Data Classification Service. This service is responsible for running the Data Classification tasks. If the Central Data Classification service wasn’t installed during the installation of the server, this field will be disabled.

Disabling Data Classification - Disabling data classification can also be achieved by setting the scheduler to be inactive, which is the default setting for data classification.

To disable data classification, delete the entry from the central Data Classification field.

Create a Schedule - This option is enabled only if a central data classification service is selected. Refer to Scheduling a Task.

Note

Refer to the Data Classification chapter in the File Access Manager Administrator Guide for more information.

Select Next or Finish.

Data Privacy

A user can associate the application with a Central Data Classification Engine Service. This engine will be responsible for executing Data Privacy tasks.

Though using different processes for each, the Data Classification engine service is in charge of both Data Privacy and Data Classification discovery tasks.

You may choose the same service for both, or use a different one for each, to run them in parallel.

Note

The fields on the Data Privacy step are the same as the Data Classification step.
