# Unstructured data: Estimated Sensitive Data

The Estimated Sensitive Data unstructured data dashboard depicts the estimated distribution of sensitive data under management based on existing analyzed items that are found to be sensitive. Analyzed items are items for which the metadata and content has been analyzed to identify tag values.

Estimated values are determined by the following formula:

`total items under management X (analyzed sensitive items ÷ total analyzed items)`

For example, if you have:

- 32,000 total items under management

- 14,100 total analyzed items

- 4,800 analyzed items found to be sensitive

then,

- `4,800 ÷ 14,100 = 0.34` = 34% of your data under management is estimated to be sensitive

- `32,000 x 0.34 = 10,888` = estimated number of items under management to be sensitive

TIP: If all items under management have been analyzed, the information about your estimated sensitive data will be the same as presented on the Analyzed Sensitive Data dashboard.

Select or clear the checkboxes in the legend to show sensitivity for only the desired weighted labels. The charts automatically refresh based on your selection.

Click any data segment in a chart to go to the list of items that segment represents. On the Research content list page, hover over the VIEWING box above the filter panel to view the criteria for the resulting list of items. For example, if you click a data segment within the Top Weighted Labels (Estimated) chart, the content list displays all analyzed items for the selected weighted label.

The Estimated Sensitive Data dashboard includes the following graphical views as it relates to your analyzed sensitive data under management.

- Using the Reporting Groups (Estimated) chart, view the total amount of estimated sensitive data for each tag in a reporting group. The five sensitive reporting groups with the most sensitive data are included. Hover over any data segment within a reporting group to view the number of sensitive data items associated with the weighted label.

  If more reporting groups exist than can display, a "More" link displays. Click the link to go to expand the list and view all reporting groups.

- Using the Top Weighed Labels chart, view the number of estimated sensitive data items for the top five weighted labels relative to the percentage of overall flagged content.

- Using the Clusters/Attributes chart, view the total number of estimated sensitive data items relative to existing agent clusters, or to a selected dataset attribute.

  By default, the agent cluster information displays. To show details for a specific dataset attribute instead, click the settings icon () on the chart and then select the desired attribute. The selection you make here is saved as your preference and will display going forward until you make another selection.

  When a dataset attribute is selected, the top attribute values display. If more attribute values exist than can display, a More link displays. Click the link to expand the list and view all dataset attributes and their values.

- Using the Estimated % Sensitivity chart, view the estimated percentage of sensitive data items relative to each dataset that includes identified sensitive data. You can also see the estimated percentage of non-sensitive data items. Selections you make in the weighted labels legend affect this chart.

- Using the Estimated Count of Sensitive Data chart, view the estimated number of sensitive data items relative to each dataset that includes identified sensitive data. Selections you make in the weighted labels legend affect this chart.

- Using the Analysis Coverage chart, view the estimated percentage of data items, for each dataset that has data, that is sensitive, not sensitive, and not analyzed. Selections you make in the Weighted label do not have an effect on this chart. Select or clear the Sensitive, Not Sensitive, or Not Analyzed checkboxes to refine your view.
