Granular scan can be used to scan specific table columns for discovery. Traditional Data Discovery jobs scan the entire table to discover data, whereas granular scan targets specific columns of the table thereby offers more control over the discovery process

## Vorbereitungen

Role required: admin, sn_data_discovery_admin, data_privacy_admin

## Prozedur

1. Navigate to AllSystem SecurityData Discovery(Classic)Granular configuration.
2. In the Granular Configurations list, select New.
3. In the Granular Configuration fields form, fill in the fields.  
   {#granular-configuration__table_tgp_2pb_grb__entry__2}

   | Field | Description |
   |-|-|
   | Dictionary Entry | Column to be scanned. |
   | Table | Table to be scanned. |
   | Column label | Label of column to be scanned |
   | Scan start point | Sensitive data will only be discovered for the day of and after the scan start point. Hinweis: If the scan start point is left empty, all entries in the column will be scanned. If scan start point is changed, the scanning will be reset to start from the newly configured timestamp. |
   | Active | Check to activate the granular configuration. |
   [Tabelle : 1. Granular Configuration fields]

   {#granular-configuration__table_tgp_2pb_grb}
4. Select Submit.  
   Children of extensible tables may be selected for configuration.
5. **Wahlweise:** Select the Granular Configuration for the parent table, select Select Child Tables and select child tables for scanning.

## Ergebnisse

The specific column of the target table will be scanned for discovery. Granular Scan makes use of [Data patterns](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/hXtRWb_tFuo_aR7pQD9zjQ "Configure a Data Discovery pattern and review current patterns. A Data Discovery pattern defines the regular expression used to match data against a target table.") from Active Data Patterns. You can review the findings and take action at AllSystem SecurityData Discovery(Classic)Granular findings. See [Granular Findings](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/k84prP_xpF1GF~Zly96Jqg "Granular findings may be reviewed using the Granular Findings tool.") for more information.
