Updates

Policies

• The last scanned date has been added to the top of the Policy reporting page (next to the active toggle). This allows you to see how old the scan results are when reviewing the policy reports. This date does not automatically refresh. The data only updates if you navigate to another page or manually refresh the page.

• Updates were made so you don't lose your place when editing a policy. Before, when you clicked Apply changes, the current tracking group would close, and the screen would reset to the top of the page. Now, the tracking group remains open, and the screen stays at the same location on the on the page. 

• When editing policies, new logic was added so the Apply changes button is unavailable if no changes have been made to the page. This provides a visual indicator whether edits have taken place and if saving is required.

Entity Types

• A new Active User Status entity type was added. It will identify if the owner and/or creator of a file is active and can identify if users with whom the file has been shared are active.

• The File Details entity type includes two new fields:
  1. Owner: This will identify the owner of a file. Some platforms (such as Box and Google) allow an owner who is different from the creator to be assigned to a file. If owner is not supported, the creator will be considered the owner. 
  2. Last Touched: This is the last time the file was touched. It uses the most recent accessed date or last modified date based on which date the platform supports.

Data Sources

• The scan status is now available on the Govern Data Sources page. The Status column display when the last scan ran for each location. If a scan is in progress, this field will display a progress bar to indicate the scan progress. If scans are running for multiple locations, each location will display its own progress bar. The Govern Data Sources page does not refresh, so a manual refresh is required to view progress. Learn more here.

• You can delete any custom entity type you created as long as it is not assigned to a policy. Learn more here.

• A timeout for matching regex patterns has been set to 5 minutes per pattern in an entity type. If a match takes longer than the timeout, an error will be logged in the Activity report for the policy indicating the regex engine timed out.
