Descope empty tables
Published 25 September 2019
It is common - especially in vendor databases for third-party applications - for whole tables to be unused, perhaps because a particular module has not been purchased, or is not needed by your business.
In these cases, it can be helpful to 'de-scope' all the columns on empty tables from classification. You could select the 'in empty tables' filter checkbox, and then bulk-classify.
Alternatively, you could run PowerShell to apply across all the columns in a given database.
This script requires that you have a Sensitivity tag of 'Public', and Information Type tag of 'Other', and a Classification Scope tag of 'Out of Scope - Unused' defined in your Taxonomy.
