Target tables are only used when defining real time anonymization policies. They are the basis for which users can select tables and columns in the policy creation process.

## Before you begin

Role required: discovery.admin

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllData DiscoverySources.
2. Select Target Tables in the navigation pane.
3. Select the Edit button.
4. Check the tables to target, they will show in the right side of the pop-up.  
   Note:  
   Target tables will scan all columns, unless specified otherwise [in policy](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/h3bQ2~~fp9xuaa7Loq9mmQ "Create a Data Discovery policy to begin scanning tables for data patterns.").
5. Select the Save button.

## Result

Selected tables will now be targeted by [scheduled discovery jobs](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/4EDvAP20REO9JRk7kF1DwQ "Set up and schedule data discovery jobs to scan your instance for sensitive information.").
