Data Discovery job results
The Data Discovery Findings page shows details on the data found by a job. You can use the Findings page to review the results of a job and begin classifying data.
The Data Discovery Findings page displays the following details after a completed job.
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Dictionary Entry | Column of the target table where the data was |
| Table | Target table where the data was found |
| Data Pattern | Data pattern used to find the data |
| Data Pattern Match Count | Number of data entries that match the data pattern |
| Total Row Scan Count | Number of rows scanned during the job |
| Percentage of Matching Rows | Percentage of rows in the target table that match the data pattern |
| Data Discovery Job | Job used on the target table |
| Status | Status of the entry |
After you run a Data Discovery job, the results have a status of New. If no action is necessary, you can leave the data alone, which automatically sets the status to Ignored. Otherwise, you can classify the data, such as by creating user-defined data classifications, to prepare for data anonymization using the Data Classification tool.

Job results can be consolidated using the Consolidate Findings button. Job results shared between two separate jobs will then be consolidated under the most recently run job.
