# Assigning data classifications to dictionary entries {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated September 10, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Assign data classifications to specific table columns in the Dictionary
\[sys_dictionary\] table. When you assign data classifications, it creates entries in the
Dictionary-Data Class \[m2m_dictionary_dataclass\] table, which you can then review in the
Overview dashboard.

## Before you begin

Role required: data_classification_admin and admin

## Procedure

1. In the Navigator pane, type <kbd class="ph userinput">sys_dictionary.list</kbd>.
2. In Dictionary Entries, select each of the elements you want to assign specific data classifications to.
3. After selecting the elements, click Actions on selected rows, and then select Classify.  
   Note:  
   To clear previously assigned data classifications for selected dictionary elements, you can select Clear classification.
4. When the Assign to data class dialog appears, select the data classifications you want to assign to your selected dictionary elements, then click Classify.  
   Warning:  
   This will overwrite any existing classifications for the selected dictionary items.

   You can select multiple data classifications as needed.
