SQL: Criteria

The Criteria page is where criteria to be used for discovering sensitive data are configured. It is a wizard page for the Sensitive Data Collection category.

The options on the Criteria page are:

• Use Global Criterion Selection – Select this option to inherit sensitive data criteria settings from the Settings > Sensitive Data node. See the Sensitive Data topic for additional information.

• Use the following selected criteria – Select this option to use the table to select which sensitive data criteria to scan for

  • Select All– Click Select All to enable all sensitive data criteria for scanning
  • Clear All – Click Clear All to remove all selections from the table
  • Select the checkboxes next to the sensitive data criteria options to enable it to be scanned for during job execution

The table contains the following types of criteria:

• System Criteria – Lists pre-defined criteria

• User Criteria – Lists user-defined criteria

  Use the Sensitive Data Criteria Editor in the Settings > Sensitive Data to create and edit user-defined criteria. See the Sensitive Data Criteria Editor topic for additional information.

NOTE: Adding unnecessary criteria can adversely impact the scanner performance and can cause the scanning job to take a long time. If performance is adversely affected, revisit the sensitive data scanning criteria and remove criteria that is not required.
