Workspace templates

Workspace templates let you create workspaces based on common criteria. When you create a workspace based on a workspace template, the criteria defined in the template is prepopulated and can be edited for the new workspace as needed. Any workbooks or data sources defined in the workspace template are created when a workspace based on the template is created.

Manage includes several default workspace templates for common purposes. The templates are associated with groups that represent the purpose of workspace. Any categories and workbooks included in the workspace template are automatically created when the template is used to create a workspace. Features related to the purpose of the template are enabled by default.

The built-in business purpose groups are used to organize the Manage Overview page. Workspace templates not assigned to a group are organized in the Other grouping on the Overview page.

  • The Data Discovery group is associated with the following built-in workspace templates.

    • The Case Assessment workspace template includes the Responsive, Privileged, Review, and Export categories. The Collect, Data Subjects, Enrich, Export, Hold, Index Content, and OCR features are enabled.

    • The Data Cleanup workspace template includes the Redundant, Obsolete, and Trivial categories as well as Obsolete Data and Trivial Data query workbooks. Before using the Data Cleanup template, be sure to edit the template and define the desired data source. The Deduplication, Delete, and Send to Target features are enabled.

      • The Obsolete Data workbook gathers documents processed from File System and SharePoint repositories that are older than 10 years from the date the Data Cleanup-based workspace is created. The Obsolete category is assigned to this workbook.

      • The Trivial Data workbook gathers temporary and system files processed from File System and SharePoint repositories at the time the Data Cleanup-based workspace is created. The Trivial category is assigned to this workbook.

    • The Data Subject Access Request workspace template includes the Directly Identifiable, Indirectly Identifiable, and Review categories. The Collect, Data Subjects, Enrich, Export, Hold, Index Content, and OCR features are enabled.

Changes you make to the options in a workspace template apply going forward and do not affect existing workspaces based on the template. Workspace templates that are associated with existing workspaces can be deleted at any time.
