Import Data Classification Results

To import external data classification results, select the data source that contains the results. This data source must have the following fields:

  • Category
  • Application name
  • Full path
  • File name

An additional field, match count, is optional.

Note

The final content of the data classification table might contain duplicate categories if the import process and data classification process contain identical categories. These are added as additional lines in the table.

To import data classification results from other data sources:

  1. Open the File Access Manager website.
  2. Navigate to Compliance > Data Classification > Policies or Compliance > Data Classification > Rules.
  3. Select the Actions menu > Import Data Classification results.

  4. Configure the import fields by mapping the data source fields to the File Access Manager fields.

    !!! note The import task will import the match count from the external source, in addition to the fields of the categories. The match count field is imported as a number. If the field mapped to Match Count is empty or is not a number, the process will load a null into this field.

  5. Set a schedule for refreshing the database from the external source. The schedule can be any of the following frequency types:

    • Once
    • Daily
    • Weekly (default value)
    • Monthly
  6. Select Save to store the field mapping and scheduling.

To follow the task progress, navigate to Settings > Tasks Management > Tasks > “Value from the Scheduled task name field” task.

To cancel the setup of the import, close the window.

Data Classification Results

File Access Manager provides reports of data classification results. You can filter the results by various parameters, including a match count—having a certain sensitive category at either more than, or less than a given threshold.

Data Classification Results – Report

To generate a data classification report, perform the following steps:

  1. In the web client, navigate to Reports > Report Templates.
  2. Use the Classified Data tag to locate a specific report.
  3. To apply a different filter than one of the existing templates:
    • Create a duplicate template by selecting Duplicate from the template dropdown menu.
    • Set the filter parameters, and select Run Now or Save the template for future runs.

The report will be available in the My Reports screen.

Note

File Access Manager can import data classification results using the Import Classification Result capability. This allows for results to be imported from a created data source.
