| Name | Description |
|---|
| Cancel | Click to cancel a running classification scan to permanently stop it. You will lose any data generated for the report. A cancelled classification report remains on this page with a status of Cancelled. Available for ALTR Native only. |
| Classification Method | Type of classification used to classify data. Options are: ALTR Native — uses regex-based classifiers you define or that are managed by ALTR Snowflake Classification — leverages Snowflake’s native classification capabilities Google DLP Classification — uses Google’s Data Loss Prevention service |
| Classify Data | Click to start a classification scan and generate a classification report. You will be prompted to select a data source and a classification method (and if using ALTR Native, a collection). |
| Columns Scanned | Number of columns that were scanned during the data classification process. |
| Connection Type | Name of the data source connection. Options are Snowflake or Databricks. |
| Data Source | Name of data source as it exists in Snowflake or Databricks. If the data source is - - means that the data source was removed from ALTR. |
| Pause scan | Click to temporary stop a classification scan, for example, if there are performance issues. You cannot view the report of a partially run classification scan; the scan must successfully complete in order to view the report. Available for ALTR Native only. |
| Resume job | Click to resume a paused classification scan. You cannot view the report of a partially run classification scan; the scan must successfully complete in order to view the report. Available for ALTR Native only. |
| Scan Start Time | Date and time when the classification scan was initiated. |
| Sort | Reorder the classification scan results either by the most recent or by the oldest Scan Start Time. Default is recent Scan Start Time. |
| Status | Status of the classification scan. Options are: Cancelled— classification scan has been permanently stopped and cannot be restarted (ALTR Native only) Error— classification scan failed to complete Generating Report— classification scan has completed and the report is being generated In Progress— classification scan is currently running Paused— classification scan has been temporarily stopped (ALTR Native only) Success— classification scan successfully ran |
