How to turn data patterns on and off in Data Classification.

Disable data patterns

You can disable data patterns that you do not require. Disabled data patterns are not searched for in new scans. Existing results on past scans do not change.

Note

Disabling data patterns can cause changes in your data profile results and stop detection of these data patterns.

  1. In the lower left part of the screen, click SettingsConfigurationsData ClassificationData Patterns.

  2. Right-click the rows of the data patterns you want to disable, and in the context menu, select Disable.

  3. In the Disable Data Pattern screen, click Yes to disable the data pattern or patterns that you selected, or click No to cancel. If you click Yes, the data pattern will be disabled and appear grayed out. You can enable it again if required, as described below.

Enable data patterns

You can enable data patterns after they have been disabled. Once enabled, new scans classify these data patterns and the results are then visible in all relevant modules.

  1. Right-click the rows of the disabled data patterns that you want to enable, and in the context menu, click Enable.

  2. In the Enable Data Pattern screen, click Yes to enable the data pattern or patterns that you selected, or click No to cancel.
