Configuring a compound data class

You may not edit the Type after it has been set. You must create a new data class instead.

Before you begin

You have been assigned a global role with the Application Administration capability.

Procedure

  1. Go to MANAGE > Data Classes.
  2. Click the data class to configure its properties.
    Field Description
    Enable/Disable

    Select Enable to include this data class in the next data classification operation.

    Select Disable to not include this data class in the next data classification operation.
    Information noteNote: Even though a data class is disabled, it may still be manually assigned and unassigned from an imported object.
    Name Type in the name of the data class.
    Description Type in a description.
    Classification groups Select one or more classification groups for this data class.

    You can classify the data of a model by group.

    Term

    Select a glossary term to associate it to any object classified with this data class.

    The term provides information such as the name and description, when tracing the semantic definition from any object associated with the data class.

    You can also obtain the list of all the objects associated with this data class when tracing the semantic usage from the term.

    Default sensitivity

    Select a sensitivity label to assign it to any object classified with this data class.

    The sensitivity label assignment can control the display of data profiling and sampling information on the object pages. By default, you can see the information when you have an assigned object role with the data viewer capability. If a sensitivity label with the Hide Data option enabled is assigned, you cannot see the information as a data viewer.

    Compound types Select existing data classes to be included in this data class.
  3. Save your changes.
