Getting Started with Data Identification

Identification is an Immuta feature that identifies your data sources and applies relevant tags when data is recognized. This eliminates a manual tagging process for your data, saving you time and providing standard taxonomy across all your data sources.

To learn more, see the Data identification page.

Requirements

• Registered data sources

• Immuta permission GOVERNANCE

Configure identification for your data

For additional control, create your own identifiers to recognize the data that matters to you. Add these identifiers to your domains and specify the data sources within those domains. This fine-level control creates automatic tagging that is relevant and accurate to your data, requiring little manual adjustments to the resulting tags.

1. Create identifiers

2. Add identifiers to a domain

3. Add data sources to your domain

Adjust resulting tags

If you have any tags that are applied to your data sources by identification that you don't want, you can easily disable these tags for each data source. This ensures that they will not be applied to the data source again if identification is re-run.

1. Verify tags

2. Disable identification tags

Reference pages

Immuta comes with a library of built-in Discovered tags and built-in identifiers. These identifiers and tags can be used in your own domains.
