- Action
Select the action to be performed: Archive, Delete or Anonymize.
When Archive or Delete is selected, a browser of existing archiving configuration opens. Select one archiving configuration and click 'Ok'. Selection of the archiving configuration determines the target object type for the action and a configuration of related object types on which the action also will be performed. The condition (selecting which objects of the object type will be processed) defined in the archiving configuration is ignored by the data rule action.
When Anonymize is selected, a browser of existing anonymization configuration opens. Select one anonymization configuration and click 'Ok'. Selection of the anonymization configuration defines how objects will be anonymized. The condition defined in the anonymization configuration is ignored by the data rule action.
If the archiving or anonymization configuration is used without the DPM, the condition from the configuration object is applied as usual.
- Apply to
Select data on which the action will be performed: Active data or Archive.
Each of the actions within the data rule can be independently performed on either the active or the archive data. For example, it is possible to run 'Archive' on active data and 'Delete' on archive data. Note, however, that the sequence of actions within the data rule is not fixed (there's no order specified) and to prevent data cross-processing (e.g. trying to anonymize already deleted data), individual actions within the data rule should be defined on disjunctive data sets.
- Execution
Select how the action will be triggered: Manual or Automated.
For each of the actions within the data rule the execution mode can be independently specified. See below for details on manual versus automated execution.
- Condition
Use the 'Set Condition' button to specify a condition selecting which objects of the object type will be processed. The condition specified here overrides the selection condition defined in the underlying archiving or anonymization configuration.
Note that specifying the condition is mandatory.
Click 'Ok' in the 'New: Data Rule Action' editor to save the first data rule action and close the editor.
