#Information Management

The Information management provides a comprehensive solution for managing the entire information lifecycle of Google Drive content, from creation to disposal. It enables organizations to enforce compliance, automate retention, and ensure efficient data management through a centralized platform.

The following features are available for information lifecycle management:

• Recommendations – A guided, wizard-based process that helps users quickly set up and configure information lifecycle management settings for Google Drive, either with or without using data classifications.

• Analysis – Focused on content discovery and in-depth analysis, this feature identifies inactive and ROT (Redundant, Obsolete, Trivial) data within your Google drives. It enables you to assess data volume and generate reports on inactive data and ROT data.

• Information Lifecycle – The core section for defining and executing management, consisting of:

  • Rules – Define what actions to take on content that meets specific criteria.

  • Classification – Create classification groups and classifications, allowing rules to be added to specific classifications for streamlined and organized management.

  • Scope – View and configure settings for containers and objects.

  • Records for review – If manual approval is enabled in a rule, files that meet the rule criteria need to be reviewed by record reviewers before being destroyed, and only the approved files will be destroyed.

• Search – Search for managed Google Drive files and folders using simple or advanced criteria. Search results can be bulk-reclassified.

• Restore Center – Search for the files that has been archived and restore them to their original location in Google Drive.
