About Information Governance reports

Information Governance includes several report categories which enable you to do the following:

  • Monitor activity on the filers, SharePoint web applications, Object Storage Sources, and cloud storage resources

  • Make decisions about the best way to use the storage on configured resources

  • Analyze the permissions assigned to users and groups to make appropriate remediation decisions.

  • Create custom reports using Information Governance Query Language (DQL).

You can view reports at any time when working within the Information Governance Console and connected to a Information Governance Management Server.

Path driven reports only give access information on the selected paths.

Custodian driven reports give information about the assigned or inherited custodians on a path.

For each report type, you can configure any number of reports with different input parameters. You can then run them to generate outputs in CSV, PDF, and HTML formats.

Note:

If a full scan of a data source has not been completed at least once, the data in the reports may not be accurate.

Reports are available for the following categories:

Activity Summary Reports

Activity Details Reports

Permissions Reports
