Data Discovery policies

Use Data Discovery policies to scan specific tables and enable column based jobs.

Data Discovery policies allow you to have fine-grained control over defining specific data patterns, tables and columns that should be included in a job. Additionally, using policies enables you to create multiple discovery job settings at the same time, instead of one global configuration. You can review your Data Discovery policies by navigating to All > System Security > Data Discovery (Classic) > Data Discovery Policies.

Note: If no columns are selected for a policy, all columns of the target table will be scanned
