Apologies for the confusion here Marc. I should have been more direct in reference to product capabilities and terminologies 🙂 . What I meant more specifically is what [workflow](https://helpcenter.netwrix.com/bundle/DataClassification_5.7/page/Content/NDC/Admin/Workflows/Overview.htm) did you first configure and leverage and why.

- What action did you use
- What conditions were used to define what the workflow will act upon
- Do you still use it today

Ahh, OK. I have not gotten into Workflows yet, so that would be why I was a little confused. Thank you for the clarification. 🙂
