General

Clear storage

The General feature controls for Zoho DataPrep helps you manage and clear storage space by defining how long raw and prepared data should be retained. 
Notes
Note: This setting will be visible only to the account and organization admins.



Retain raw and prepared data for the last - Use this setting to specify how long Zoho DataPrep should retain older raw and prepared data.
Once the selected retention period expires, the data is automatically deleted to clear storage space in Zoho DataPrep. You can choose a data retention period from 1 to 6 months, with up to 2 months for the Standard plan and up to 6 months for the Enterprise plan, based on your subscription.

Alert
Important: This is a global setting and applies across all workspaces in your organization. All raw and prepared data older than the selected retention period will be permanently deleted from every workspace.

Manually clearing storage space

In addition to this setting, you can also manually clear storage space by deleting pipelines and workspaces from Trash, as items in Trash continue to consume storage until they are permanently removed.
Idea As a best practice, always permanently delete unused pipelines and workspaces after moving them to Trash.

Prepare data using Code Studio[BETA]

Enable this toggle if you want to Prepare data using Code Studio. This option deeply analyzes and perform data transforms using raw Python code right within the context of your data pipeline. By enabling this feature, you authenticate and authorize all users who can create or access a pipeline in your DataPrep organization to use the Code Studio feature. Learn more about this option here.

Notes
Note: The toggle will be disabled by default. This setting will be visible only to the account admin

Code Studio Allowed Domains

Zoho DataPrep allows you to enhance the security of your data science workflows by regulating external communication from Code Studio. By specifying a list of trusted domains, you can control which external APIs and web services your Python scripts are permitted to access, preventing unauthorized data transfer.



Notes
This section is visible only to the Account admin of the organization in Zoho DataPrep. 
 
By default, Code Studio restricts all outgoing API calls to ensure a secure environment. You must explicitly whitelist a domain to allow your Python scripts to interact with it.

To add a trusted domain

1. In the Code Studio Allowed Domains tab, click the Add Domain button. An Add Domain dialog will appear. Enter the domain name you wish to whitelist (e.g., finepick.com).




2. Click Add Domain to include the domain in your trusted list.

To manage existing domains

You can manage your domains from the Whitelisted Domains section. This section displays all allowed domains with the following details:

Domain Name: Displays the URL or endpoint permitted for API calls from Code Studio.
Actions: Provides options to Edit the domain entry or Delete it to revoke access immediately.




Notes
Note:
Only domains added by your account admin will be accessible from Code Studio. Attempts to connect to any other domain will result in a connection error. 
Whitelisted domains apply to Code Studio operations across all workspaces within the organization.
