Data Discovery & Risk Insights 25.1.0 Help Center

# Workspaces

A workspace in OpenText Core Data Discovery & Risk Insights is the highest level unit to organize certain constructs from which to gather data for review and management. You create workspaces populated from datasets defined in Connect or from individual data items identified in Analyze. From within a workspace, you can further organize your data into workbooks.

TIP: For more information about datasets, see Manage datasets. For more information about creating a workspace from Research in the Analyze UI, see Save data items to a workspace.

The workpace list includes all workspaces that you have permission to view. You can filter the list by status (such as open, closed, and so on), by "type" based on workbook templates, by dataset, or by workspace owner. You can click the menu select icon () next to "OVERVIEW" and go directly to a workspace that requires your review or that you recently accessed. You can also type the name of a workspace in the Find Workspaces search field to search for a specific workspace. To access the individual workspace overview, workbooks, and contents, click the workspace name in the workspace list.

Click anywhere in the row for the desired workspace and then click the open detail panel icon () to display the workspace details. From the detail panel you can view the options defined for the workspace and the status for the workspace, as well as edit the workspace. Use the tabbed views to see the associated datasets, the criteria set for the workspace, the associated data requests, and the assigned security. The information available is based on whether the workspace content is unstructured or structured data.

NOTE: If you do not have permission to access all datasets associated with a workspace in the list, you can open the workspace detail panel but you cannot open the workspace to view the overview, workbooks, and contents. In this scenario, you will be presented with a message letting you know you do not have access to all datasets within the workspace.

To create a workspace

1. From the primary navigation panel, click Workspaces ().

   The Workspaces page opens.

2. Click NEW WORKSPACE.

   The Create Workspace dialog opens to the General page.

3. Complete the General options for the new workspace.

   Name | Type a unique, meaningful name for the workspace. Limits: Maximum 50 characters.
   Template | Select whether to base this workspace on a defined template. To define the workspace from scratch, select None. To define the workspace from a template, select the desired template from the list. The values defined for options in the template are prepopulated in this dialog. You can edit these values if desired. TIP: Before using the Data Cleanup template, ensure the desired datasets are associated with the template. If no datasets are defined in the template, the included workbooks will be empty. NOTE: This option defaults to the selection you made the last time you created a workspace. Make sure the desired option is selected.
   Data Type | Select whether this workspace will include Unstructured Data or Structured Data.
   Workspace ID | (Optional) Type an ID for this workspace. For example, you can enter a code representing the workspace in another application, or some other useful identifier.
   Description | (Optional) Type a meaningful description for the new workspace. Limits: Maximum 250 characters.
   Workspace open date | Select the date to designate as the open date for this workspace. Defaults to the current date.
   Workspace due date | (Optional) Select the date to designate as the date all work for the workspace is due to be completed.
   Enforce Policy Review | Select whether to enforce a review of delete and send to target actions taken against documents in workbooks within this workspace. If selected, all requests within this workspace to delete documents from a workbook, protect all documents in a workbook, send documents within a workbook to a target, or send a masked copy of documents within a workbook to a target will require a designated reviewer to either approve or reject the action. IMPORTANT: At least one user or group must have the appropriate permission at the application and workspace levels to ensure policies reviews can occur. If not selected (check box cleared), requests within this workspace to delete documents from a workbook or send documents within a workbook to a target will be processed without further review. Limits: Applies to unstructured data only.

   Option | Description
   --- | ---
   Workspace owner | Type the user name of the user to be the owner of the new workspace. Defaults to the user you are logged in as. NOTE: There can only be one user assigned to a workspace as its workspace owner. If you select a user other than the account you are currently logged in as, the user you are logged in as will not be able to access this workspace unless you add the user you are logged in as to the list of users and groups for this workspace (next step).
   List of Users/Groups | Define the users and groups to have permissions for this workspace. IMPORTANT: To create workbooks and add data to the workbooks you must assign at least one user with the permissions to perform these tasks. The workspace owner does not automatically have these permissions. If you selected to enforce policy review, ensure at least one user or group is assigned a role that has permission to apply and reject policies. In the Enter name or email address box, begin typing a group name or a name or email address of a user. As you enter a string in the field, the interface displays names or email addresses matching the string. Select a role to assign to the user or group from the Select Role list. The default workspace roles are as follows: Document Review Full control Manage Policy Review Search only NOTE: Your OpenText Core Data Discovery & Risk Insights environment may have additional roles available. These roles are managed in the Administration UI. TIP: If you will enable custom actions for this workspace, ensure you define a user who has permission to perform the custom action. To enable a custom action for a user Assign the custom action permission to a role at the application level (Manage) in Administration. Assign the corresponding custom action workspace security level permission to a role at the Workspace Security level in Administration. Assign the Manage and Workspace Security roles with the custom action to the user in Administration. When creating or editing a workspace in Manage, select the user on the Security page of the wizard and select a functional workspace role. Click Add to add the selected user or group to the workspace. Once you add users or groups to the list, you can change their role by selecting the role from the Role column.

   Each user must still have the necessary permission to perform the action. Features not selected are hidden for this workspace, regardless of user permission.

   TIP: For a workspace not based on a template, all default features are pre-selected. For a workspace based on a template, features from the template are pre-selected and you can change the selections.

Once you have fully defined the desired details, you can change the workspace status to OPEN and perform file analysis and actions on data in the workspace. If you no longer need to take action on the workspace data, you can change the workspace status to CLOSED.

- DRAFT: Datasets can be added and removed; criteria can be edited; workbook file analysis and actions can be performed.

- OPEN: Datasets can be added but not removed; criteria cannot be edited (including data subjects); workbook file analysis and actions can be performed; cannot revert to draft status.

- CLOSED: Read-only; workbook file analysis and actions cannot be performed; can be reopened or reverted to previous status.
