Getting started(开始使用)¶
Start using Data Lifetime for your organization by following the best practices and guides listed in the sections below.
Access the Data Lifetime application¶
You can find the Data Lifetime application using the Applications search tool, located in the navigation sidebar to the left of your screen. Search by name, or find the application under Security & governance.

The following guides will explain specific workflows available in Data Lifetime:
- Implications of deletion policies
- Create a deletion policy on a dataset
- Remove deletion policies on a dataset
- View policy activity history
- Create policy overrides
- FAQ
Safeguard policy use¶
The configuration of deletion policies is a critical and sensitive task that must be performed with care and accountability. Changes to deletion policies can cause significant impacts on data integrity, including accidental data loss or retaining data longer than legally allowed.
The Data Lifetime lineage-aware deletion solution is integrated into the robust access control system in the platform, allowing organizations the ability to restrict the privilege of policy application to specific trusted users. Moreover, applying override policies requires an even higher access level within this system.
Additionally, Data Lifetime can be integrated with Checkpoints, an application that allows organizations to require user justifications for actions in the platform. Applying Checkpoints to require justifications for applying or removing a deletion policy in Foundry can enhance data governance best practices by providing additional auditability and transparency.

开始使用¶
请遵循以下章节列出的最佳实践和指南,为您的组织启用数据生命周期(Data Lifetime)。
访问数据生命周期应用¶
您可以通过屏幕左侧导航栏中的 应用(Applications) 搜索工具找到数据生命周期应用。可按名称搜索,或在 安全与治理(Security & governance) 分类下查找该应用。

以下指南将说明数据生命周期中可用的具体工作流程:
保障策略使用安全¶
删除策略的配置是一项关键且敏感的任务,必须谨慎负责地执行。对删除策略的更改可能对数据完整性产生重大影响,包括意外数据丢失或数据保留时间超过法律允许范围。
数据生命周期的数据血缘感知删除解决方案已集成到平台强大的访问控制系统中,使组织能够将策略应用的权限限制给特定的受信任用户。此外,应用覆盖策略需要在该系统中拥有更高的访问级别。
同时,数据生命周期可与检查点(Checkpoints)集成,该应用允许组织要求用户对平台中的操作提供理由。在 Foundry 中应用检查点,要求用户在应用或移除删除策略时提供理由,可通过提供额外的可审计性和透明度来增强数据治理最佳实践。
