SPAA: Select DLP Criteria

The Select Criteria page is where criteria to be used for discovering sensitive data are configured. It is a wizard page for the category of Scan For Sensitive Content. This page requires the Sensitive Data Discovery Add-On to be been installed on the Enterprise Auditor Console to define the criteria and enable the Criteria Editor. If the SharePoint Agent is used, then it must also be installed on the application server that hosts the Central Administration component. See the Sensitive Data Discovery Add-On Installation topic for additional information.

CAUTION: Users should not change scans in a way that would result in less data being returned on a subsequent scan (i.e. scanning fewer web applications, scanning fewer site collections, or a shallower depth scan). Those resources not included in a subsequent scan are marked as deleted in the Tier 2 database and subsequently removed from the Tier 1 database.
