Help from ITS

Self-Service (Moving data yourself)

Data Migration from the Q Drive

  • Safest choice.

  • ITS performs a pre-migration scan to predict any issues during the migration process (ex. file name too long).

  • Creates a log of files transferred and any issue during migration.

  • Can migrate into an existing site.

  • Retains file metadata.

Tip

ITS recommends that departments work with ITS to utilize the data migration tool to ensure data safety.

  • Quick and easy if you do not have many files.

  • Can migrate into an existing site.

  • No log is generated.

  • Can take multiple days to upload if you have many files.

  • File metadata may be lost.

    • Metadata includes original author, creation date, etc.

Note

When manually migrating data, files may be unknowingly lost and ITS may not be able to restore lost files (no log is generated).

Managing Permissions

(Permissions are not migrated from the Q Drive, only data is migrated)

The management of permissions is now handled by the SharePoint site owners; users do not need the help of ITS to add, edit, or remove others from a SharePoint site. Check out Manage Users in SharePoint for more information.
