Creating and editing a table data category

To create or edit a category of table data:

  1. In the Management Console tree, select the Categories and policies node.
  2. Perform one of the following steps:
    • To create a new category of table data, click the New category button. Then select the Table data item in the drop-down list.
    • To edit an existing category of table data, select it in the list of categories and policies and click the Settings button.

    A window with category settings appears.

  3. Specify the category name in the Name field.
  4. Click Browse and select a CSV file with data to be protected against leaks with the help of a category.

    The CSV file must be saved in UTF-8 encoding. Other encodings are not supported.

    The first row in the file is the header. This row is not imported and does not participate in creating a category.

  5. In the Column separator drop-down list, select the symbol to be used in the file for separating columns.
  6. In the Match level section, specify the threshold values of rows and columns.

    For more details on the threshold values of rows and columns click the Additional information about category link in the Category settings window.

  7. Specify additional information pertaining to the category in the Comments field. It may be, for example, a link to the document that regulates the data security rules in the organization.
  8. Click the OK button.

Data from this file is imported into the category. The new / modified category of table data appears in the list of categories and policies.

In order for the application to start using a new or modified category of table data in Data Leak Prevention, you have to create a policy on the basis of the category.
