17.2 Managing Sensitive Column Types

After you have successfully created an ADM, the next task is to create either a new sensitive column type or one based on an existing type.

To create a sensitive column type:

  1. From the Actions menu of the Application Data Models page, select Sensitive Column Types.

    The Sensitive Column Types page appears.

  2. Click Create.

    The Create Sensitive Column Type pop-up appears.

  3. Specify a required name and regular expressions for the Column Name, Column Comment, and Column Data search patterns.

    • The Or Search Type means that any of the patterns can match for a candidate sensitive column.

    • The And Search Type means that all of the patterns must match for a candidate sensitive column.

    If you do not provide expressions for any of these parameters, the system does not search for the entity.

  4. Click OK.

    The sensitive column appears in the table in the Sensitive Column Types page.

To create a sensitive column type based on an existing type:

  1. From the Actions menu of the Application Data Models page, select Sensitive Column Types.

    The Sensitive Column Types page appears.

  2. Select either a sensitive column type you have already defined, or select one from the out-of-box types that the product provides.

  3. Click Create Like.

    The Create Sensitive Column Type pop-up appears.

  4. Specify a required name and alter the existing expressions for the Column Name, Column Comment, and Column Data search patterns to suit your needs.

  5. Click OK.

    The sensitive column appears in the table in the Sensitive Column Types page.
