      Data Insight Support

In 6.6

The following features, enhancements, or changes are now available in Data Insight 6.6. or after upgrading to Data Insight 6.6 from previous versions.

Classification

  • Classification requests can now be Paused and subsequently Resumed as per user's priority. Content fetching and Classification process are paused using this feature. Prior to this release, users could only pause content fetching for a classification node during specific times. Now, the user can pause an individual request at any stage of classification or content fetching process.

    This feature will allow the user to prioritize classification requests when multiple requests are in queue. User can pause any low priority request and de-congest specific classification node to process high priority request. After completion the high priority request, user can resume the low priority request.

  • Data Insight is integrated with Veritas Information Classifier (VIC) to classify the files and add tags to files which violate the enabled policies. From this release, the users will have choice to trigger Classification Request against specific VIC policies. Users can add desired VIC policies to already enabled set of policies or override those policies entirely.

Server Administrator role

From this release, Server Administrator will be able to manage users. This is a optional feature and can be assigned to existing Server Administrators. This enhancement will enable Server Administrator to add, edit or delete users.

M365 data sources

Users can now perform Delete Action on M365 data sources like SharePoint and OneDrive from Reports and Workspace tabs.

DFS

Data Insight is now enhanced to discover DFS shares through DiscoverDFSJob periodically and import discovered share in Data Insight through DiscoverDFSJob_Import. This will help in periodic enumeration and importing of newly added DFS shares automatically and appending an existing CSV file output.
