Automatic acceptance and rejection of classification suggestions

Important 

In Collibra 2024.05, we launched a new user interface (UI) for Collibra Data Intelligence Platform! You can learn more about this latest UI in the UI overview.

Use the following options to see the documentation in the latest UI or in the previous, classic UI:

During the data classification process, we predict 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.

Example 
  • 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.
Important 

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.
