Data Insight: Using the remediation workflows to automate the assignment of remediation tasks
Data Insight remediation Workflow lets the security and storage administrators automate the assignment of remediation tasks among the configured custodians and data owners. After analyzing the request, the custodians and data owners can determine the best way to remediate the issues. See About remediation workflows Data Insight lets you create a remediation workflow with customized attribute values or use the workflow templates which have predefined common values. Using the template you can create multiple workflow instances of the same type. See About workflow templates Before proceeding with configuring a remediation workflow, see Prerequisites for configuring remediation workflows. The below image provides a visual representation of the lifecycle of a workflow.

The Workflows > Audit view also provides the ability to initiate the following remediation actions on workflow paths: Archiving: You can explicitly archive workflow paths that are part of a Records Classification workflow to help you reclaim storage, comply with your organization’s data retention policies, and make content available for e-discovery. Archiving workflow paths using Enterprise Vault Removing permissions: You can remove permissions on Entitlement Review workflow paths. Removing permissions for Entitlement Review workflow pathsData Insight 5.2: Ability to push tags from Data Insight to Enterprise Vault
Data Insight enables you to add tags to files that are archived to Enterprise Vault. These tags make it faster to search for the files archived from Data Insight in Enterprise Vault. When Enterprise Vault archives and indexes a file, the tag is included in the index of the file. When you search the archive, the search is carried out on the tags that are attached to the file rather than the entire Enterprise Vault database. You can add any number of tags to a file. For example, you may want to tag files that belong to a certain department in your organization as HR or Admin. Or, you may want to add a descriptive tag such as Older than three years. You can add tags when configuring Data Insight reports that support archiving. Only a user with the Server Administrator or a Report Administrator role can add tags to files being archived. Adding tags to files being archived in Enterprise VaultNew DQL templates in Data Insight 5.1
Data Insight provides you the ability to query the data being monitored by using Data Insight Query Language (DQL). You can use canned DQL templates, and generate a report in CSV format.
