  The various details about the onboarded Airtable App are displayed.
2. (Optional) Give a descriptive name to the Airtable instance to differentiate this instance of Airtable from other instances.
3. Add policy rules.
  
  When you add a cloud app, Data Security automatically scans the app against the default data patterns and displays any match occurrences. As a best practice, consider the business use of your app to determine whether you want to Add a New Data Asset Policy Rule to look for incidents unique to Airtable.
4. Configure or edit a data pattern.
  
  You can Configure Data Patterns to identify specific strings of text, characters, words, or patterns to make it possible to find all instances of text that match a data pattern you specify.
5. Start Scanning Airtable App.
  
  To start scanning the new Airtable app for risks, select ConfigurationSaaS SecurityData SecurityApplicationsAirtableView Settings...Start Scanning.
  
  Data Security scans all assets in the associated Airtable App and identifies incidents. Depending on the number of Airtable users and assets, it might take some time for Data Security to complete the process. However, you can Monitor Scan Results on the Dashboard and begin to Assess Incidents. Monitoring the progress of the scan during the discovery phase enables you to Fine-Tune Policy rules to modify the match criteria and ensure better results.
