SPAA: Select DLP Criteria

Use the Select Criteria page to configure the criteria for discovering sensitive data. It's a wizard page for the category of Scan For Sensitive Content. This page requires you to install the Sensitive Data Discovery Add-On on the Enterprise Auditor Console to define the criteria and enable the Criteria Editor. If you use the SharePoint Agent, you must also install it on the application server that hosts the Central Administration component. See the Sensitive Data Discovery Add-On Installation topic for additional information.

warning

Don't change scans in a way that results in a subsequent scan returning less data (for example, scanning fewer web applications, scanning fewer site collections, or using a shallower depth scan). Enterprise Auditor marks resources not included in a subsequent scan as deleted in the Tier 2 database and subsequently removes them from the Tier 1 database.
