Description
True: The automatic acceptance and rejection of data classification suggestions is active.
False (default): Data classification suggestions are not automatically accepted or rejected.Tip Start using the Automatic Data Classification tool by manually accepting and rejecting the data classification suggestions. Only activate the automatic acceptance and rejection feature if you are comfortable with the results the tool provides.
Automatic acceptance threshold The percentage from which data classification suggestions must be accepted automatically.
If you set this value to 75, then the classification suggestions with a confidence level of 75% or higher are automatically accepted.
If multiple classification suggestions meet the threshold condition for a column, the classification suggestion with the highest confidence level percentage is accepted automatically if this classification suggestion is the only one to have that confidence level percentage.ExampleYou set the automatic acceptance threshold to 85%. You classify a table with 2 columns.
- For column A, three classification suggestions are possible, one with confidence level 93%, one with 92%, and one with 90%.
- For column B, two classification suggestions are possible. Their confidence level is the same, 86%.
The results of the automatic acceptance will be:
- For column A, the classification suggestion with 93% will be accepted automatically.
- For column B, nothing is done, both suggestions will be visible.
The default acceptance threshold is 90.
Automatic rejection threshold The percentage from which data classification suggestions must be rejected automatically. If you set this value to 49, then all data classification suggestions with a confidence level of 49% or lower are automatically rejected.
The default rejection threshold is 10.
Note If the acceptance threshold and rejection threshold are set to the same value, and a data classification suggestion has this confidence level percentage, the classification suggestion will be rejected.

The default acceptance threshold is 90%. - Click Save.
