Data Classification

I'm trying to update the BusinessOwnerId classification field on a bunch of our custom fields. I've seen reference to somehow doing it using the Metadata API to update CusomField but I'd like to know what that means in practical terms. I can query FieldDefinition but when I try to update it I get the error "You can't update records for the object: FieldDefinition". When I try to query CustomField I get an error that "sObject type CustomField is not supported".  

Is there a step by step guide for how to set BusinessOwnerId on multiple fields for people who aren't developers?

Hi @Marla Hay. I have a fairly basic question about the data classification fields and their values.

I have tried to look through the release notes and the help documentation (https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=data_classification_metadata_fields.htm&type=5), but I can't seem to find the answers to my questions.

My core question is; what do each of the picklist values in the new fields actually do, or what do they mean?

1. For example, what impact does it have that I assign Field Usage to be ‘DeprecateCandidate’ compared to ‘Hidden’? And how does that impact manifest itself?
2. Does it have a technical impact somewhere in Salesforce that I put the ‘Data Sensitivity Level’ to “Confidential” compared to “Restricted”?

Basically, the relationship or particular differences between these different settings aren't immediately clear to me. Would it be possible to publish your definition for each of those picklist values in Field Usage and Data Sensitivity?

Also, can the field metadata be accessed by Apex? For example, if I would like to manipulate the data from all fields on a record which are classified as 'Data Sensitivity' = "Public", could I invoke an Apex class to do that?

Thank you.

I am trying to implement data classification for my org, using our data masking as the guide on what to classify. question is, once I add the classification to the fields, how can I use that classification to stop reports from being exported with sensitive records that have a certain classification? Can data classification metadata be used in TSP rules to prevent that data from being exported? and, is the metadata maintained if we sync with another org? so that down stream that data keeps its classification so that other tools will be able to see it and act on it? 

I am new to using the Data Classification fields within our org, and am looking for a solution to mass update all the classification fields:

Data Owner

Field Usage

Data Sensitivity Level

Compliance Categorization 

Is there a tool that can be used to upload all our necessary fields at once or will it be more of a manual effort?

Thanks!

I work in Security, not Sales, and know very little about Salesforce. I'm trying to help the Sales team set up data classification. Everything is working fine, but I'd prefer to assign the "Data Owner" to a group rather than an individual so it's easier to maintain. The Administrator created a public group for me, but it isn't discoverable when I click the lookup for Data Owner. When I type the group name and save I see the attached error. The help files say group assignment is possible so I'm assuming this is a simple configuration issue. Does anyone have a suggestion?

Thanks!

There was something mentioned in one of the Release Readiness videos about the Data Classification fields being used in Apex to extend the functionality of the new release of Event Monitoring. Is there any further documentation on that, and is there any other cool ways that you can use the data classification fields in a more active way? 

Does anyone have any tips on where to start with the Data Classification feature?  Like a way of prioritizing which fields should be documented first, or a methodology of how to tackle the documentation/classification issue when you're starting from near-zero?

Hey y'all! What tools/software do you use that you think more Salesforce Business Analysts should know about? What's made your life 10 times easier since you started using it?
