If you have a threshold of 55%, only columns **Sample_col1** and **Sample_col2** will be classified. **Sample_col3**will not be classified, because it doesn't meet the 55% threshold criterion.

The sampling rule is based on the type of data sources. For more information, see the "Sampling within a file" section in [Supported data sources and file types in Microsoft Purview](./sources-and-scans.md#sampling-within-a-file).

Data classification, in the context of Microsoft Purview, is a way of categorizing data assets by assigning unique logical tags or classes to the data assets. Classification is based on the business context of the data. For example, you might classify assets by *Passport Number*, *Driver's License Number*, *Credit Card Number*, *SWIFT Code*, *Person’s Name*, and so on.

When you classify data assets, you make them easier to understand, search, and govern. Classifying data assets also helps you understand the risks associated with them. This in turn can help you implement measures to protect sensitive or important data from ungoverned proliferation and unauthorized access across the data estate.

Microsoft Purview provides an automated classification capability while you scan your data sources. You get more than 200+ built-in system classifications and the ability to create custom classifications for your data. You can classify assets automatically when they're configured as part of a scan, or you can edit them manually in the Microsoft Purview governance portal after they're scanned and ingested.

Let's say that the *Employee ID* column follows the EMPLOYEE{GUID} pattern (for example, EMPLOYEE9c55c474-9996-420c-a285-0d0fc23f1f55). You can create your own custom classification by using a regular expression, such as `\^Employee\[A-Za-z0-9\]{8}-\[A-Za-z0-9\]{4}-\[A-Za-z0-9\]{4}-\[A-Za-z0-9\]{4}-\[A-Za-z0-9\]{12}\$`.

> Sensitivity labels are different from classifications. Sensitivity labels categorize assets in the context of data security and privacy, such as *Highly Confidential*, *Restricted*, *Public*, and so on. To use sensitivity labels in the Microsoft Purview data map, you'll need at least one Microsoft 365 license or account within the same Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenant as your Microsoft Purview data map. For more information about the differences between sensitivity labels and classifications, see [Sensitivity labels in Microsoft Purview FAQ](sensitivity-labels-frequently-asked-questions.yml#what-is-the-difference-between-classifications-and-sensitivity-labels).
