    • Note: installing on certain groups or org. units will not give clear and accurate data stats of the domain data

GAT+ will be installed.

When installed, click on the Goole apps button and scroll down to the GAT+ icon

Select Region #

When you launch GAT+ for the first time you will have to select a region where data will be stored.

This selection is permanent.

Select the Region where the data will be stored.

• US Region – 
• EU Region – 
• UK Region –

Once the region is selected GAT+ will be opened up for you.

This will be the initial login and the initial scan will be started.

The time for the initial scan to complete will depend on the size of the domain.

• The number of users
• The number of Drive files etc

Estimate time of the initial scan #

We estimate the initial scan to take 30 min per 1 million files. When the scan is completed an automatic email will be sent to the Admin account.

Note: Subsequent scans will be faster.

When the initial scan has been completed, the data from your domain will be displayed in the GAT+ console.

Data access #

To view and access the full domain data (metadata), we recommend that GAT+ be installed domain-wide and all permissions be granted.

Access GAT+ by Super Admins only #

By default, the tool can be accessed ONLY by Super Admins of the domain.

Non-admin accounts can see the GAT+ application under their Google Apps option, but CANNOT launch the tool itself.

When the tool is installed domain-wide, it can be launched from the Google Apps menu.

Click on the Google Apps menu button scroll down to third-party apps and click on GAT+

This will launch GAT+ into a new window on your browser.
