Application Scope

Use this screen to view and set the scope of applications and resources on which to apply Data Classification policies.

In the web client, navigate to Compliance > Data Classification > Application Scope.

The scope list includes only applications with installed Data Classification. It is only possible to install Data Classification on an application in the administrative client.

The column Optical Character Recognition (OCR) indicates whether the application has OCR activated on part or all part of its resources.

The scope definition directly affects the time required for Data Classification indexing.

Activating Optical Character Recognition on resources is a resource intensive process, and should be configured carefully.

For example, to reduce Data Classification indexing, an Administrator can:

• Exclude an application from Data Classification indexing (if “non-sensitive” data is saved by default on that application).

• Include a specific resource (one with very important data) for Data Classification indexing.

You can specify which resources to use (and which to exclude) from a selected application by clicking the Edit button to the right of the application.

While the Data Classification status (Active/Inactive) can only be changed from the administrative client, non-administrator users can view the status in the Web application.

The Scope definition only takes effect after the next run of the Data Classification task.

Only the business resources of an application selected for editing display on the list.
