    2. In the Privacy Workspace, click the List icon ().
    3. Navigate to Privacy elements > All Information objects.
    4. Select and open the information object you want to tag.
    5. In the Data Classification field, select Personal Information.
    6. Select Save.

    Result

    The information object that you classified as personal information appears in the [PI] Information Objects list.
