During the data classification process, Collibra predicts the data class for a column. The percentage next to the data class indicates the confidence level of the data classification suggestion.
You can manually accept or reject a suggested data class, but you can also configure thresholds to automatically accept or reject the data classification suggestions.
- If you set the automatic acceptance threshold to 75%, then a data classification suggestion with a confidence level of 75% or higher is accepted automatically.
- If you set the automatic rejection threshold to 49%, then a data classification suggestion with a confidence level of 49% or lower is automatically rejected and does not appear for the column.
Once a data classification has been accepted for a column, the data classification won't be automatically updated if you run the data classification process again.
Tip Start by manually accepting and rejecting a suggested data class. Only activate the automatic acceptance and rejection feature if you are comfortable with the data classification results.
