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

    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” wasn’t installed during the installation of the server, this field is disabled.

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

    Disabling data classification can also be achieved by setting the scheduler to be inactive (which is the default setting for data classification).

  5. You can now schedule a task.

Scheduling a Task

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.
