R Drive Action items
Review IST knowledge base (KB) article on how to choose between Teams or SharePoint
Complete the migration checklist including:
Identify any access database files within your R: drive folders.
Identify automated processes that are linked to R: drive folders (e.g., scripts)
Enter the migration details in the green columns What is the name of the green column? of the migration report. Note: the migration report is an excel spreadsheet that was shared separately with contacts How does a person gets a copy if they don’t have one and need one?
Understand that files may need to be renamed and/or reorganized as there is a maximum file name path length in Teams and SharePoint and some characters are unsupported (Understand?.. how about “review your R:drive files to determine whether there are any files to be renamed and/or reorganized based on the file name and path length restrictions)
Your IST Migration Facilitator will be able to identify these for you using the SharePoint Migration Tool the link to the Facilitator is broken/not accessible to me. Also, does the Faciltator or the audience of this article need to do the above point?
Review and cleanup R: drive date ensuring:
The department complies with Policy 46 – Information Management
Information is classified by its use (e.g., HR, IT support, student services, etc.)
Retention and/or deletion of data complies with the University records retention schedules
Contact Chris Halonen, University Records Manager, if you have any questions regarding data retention
For confidential information and data on the R: drive:
Work with your IST Migration Facilitator to identify the folder owners
Work with leadership in your department to identify who should have access to the content and where the content should be moved to
For any highly confidential data, determine if a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) will be required for the IST Migration Facilitator as they will have temporary access to the data during the migration is there a link for the NDA?
Contact your IST Migration Facilitator to schedule a meeting to review the migration process, develop a plan, and answer any questions
If your IST Migration Facilitator does not hear from you, a meeting will be scheduled for you
