Data Subjects

In Fusion, a data subject is a person associated with a document processed by Fusion and can be searched against. Data subjects are defined at the workspace-level.

A data subject can be involved in a document in the following ways:

  • Any sender or recipient of an email, including Cc and Bcc recipients.

  • Any person identified by a name found within any indexed field. The name can be found in the body of an email or its attachments or the within the content or ownership of a non-message document (such as file system or SharePoint).

  • Any person identified by an email address within any indexed field. The email address can be found within the content of a non-message document.

  • Any person identified as an assignee or author of a Content Manager document.

Internal data subjects are added to the system as users in Administration. Users are available for selection in a workspace as internal data subjects. External data subjects are created manually and are not users with login credentials for Fusion.

TIP: You have access to features and functions based on your assigned permissions. You will only see features and functions that have been enabled for the workspace you are viewing and that you have permission to see.

Data subjects are accessed from the DATA SUBJECTS tab of the workspace artifacts panel on the workspace overview page. The artifacts panel provides a quick view of the data subjects and provides access to the Data Subjects page for more detailed information and to take action. On the Data Subjects page, use the filter above the data subject list to show all, active, or inactive data subjects. Click the data subject name to go to the Content tab and view the list of items associated with the data subject.

Open the detail panel (open detail panel icon) for a selected data subject to see whether the data subject is an internal or external user, their primary email address, and the number of documents associated with them that are on hold or have been sent to a target location.
