Collect

Configure Data Protection for Targets, Sources and Tables

A Collect Administrator configures data protection settings at the target, target source, and table level.

The settings configured at the target level are set by default for any target sources and tables added to the target. The settings can then be updated at the target source and table level.

The most specific data protection settings are used, and the earliest Retention Expiration Date takes precedence. For example, if the retention date for a table is the first of the month and the retention date for the target is the fifteenth, data from the table is purged on the first. Data in the rest of the target is purged two weeks later. In the reverse case, where the target expires on the first of the month and the table is set to expire on the fifteenth, the specific table will still be purged with the rest of the tables in the target on the first.

Refer to Support Regulatory Compliance for general information.

    Personal — This object contains data that must be purged by a certain date. The Retention Expiration Date field must be completed for this object (e.g., Customer Addresses, Employee Records, Business Partner Tax IDs).

    Public — This object contains data that does not need to be purged (e.g., Units of Measure, Material Descriptions, Country Codes).

    Restricted — This data does not need to be purged, but is marked as restricted access (e.g., Company Chart of Accounts, Recipes, Work Orders).

    • Custom data classifications also display in this list box.
