You can inspect up to 1 GB of storage data per month free of charge. For\nmore information about pricing, see [Storage inspection job\npricing](/sensitive-data-protection/pricing#storage-pricing).\n\n### Choose input data\n\n1. In the Sensitive Data Protection section of the Google Cloud console, go\n to the **Create job or job trigger** page.\n\n [Go to Create job or job trigger](https://console.cloud.google.com/security/sensitive-data-protection/create/job;source=7)\n2. To configure input data, do the following:\n\n 1. In the **Name** section, define the following options:\n\n - For **Job ID** , enter `quickstart-job-trigger`.\n\n - Keep **Resource location** set to **Global (any region)**.\n\n 2. In the **Storage type** list, select **BigQuery**, and then\n define the following options:\n\n - For **Project ID** , enter `bigquery-public-data`.\n\n - For **Dataset ID** , enter `austin_bikeshare`.\n\n - For **Table ID** , enter `bikeshare_stations`.\n\n 3. In the **Maximum number of rows** field, enter `10`.\n\n3. Click **Continue**.\n\n### Configure detection parameters\n\n1. To configure detection, do the following:\n\n 1. In the **InfoTypes** section, click **Manage infoTypes**.\n\n 2. In the **InfoTypes** pane, select **STREET_ADDRESS**.\n\n 3. To close the **infoTypes** pane, click **Done**.\n\n 4. In the **Confidence threshold** section, select **Possible** from the\n **Likelihood** list.\n\n The value **Possible** is sufficient for most purposes. If you routinely\n get matches that are too broad when you use this job trigger, select a\n higher confidence threshold value. If you get too few matches, select a\n lower confidence threshold value.\n2. Click **Continue**.\n\n### Add post-scan actions\n\n1. Click the **Notify by email** toggle.\n\n2. Click **Continue**.\n\n### Set a schedule\n\n1. In the **Time span or schedule** list, select **Create a trigger to run the\n job on a periodic schedule**.\n\n | **Important:** Selecting **Create a trigger to run the job on a periodic\n | schedule** is what makes a job into a job trigger. If you don't specify a schedule, you create a single job that runs only once.\n2. In the **Trigger scan repeats** list, select **Weekly**.\n\n3. Click **Continue**.\n\n### Review and create the job trigger\n\nAfter you review the JSON-formatted summary of the job settings you just\nspecified, do the following:\n\n1. Click **Create**.\n\n2. In the **Confirm job or job trigger create** dialog, click\n **Confirm create**.\n\n Allow a minute for Sensitive Data Protection to create the job trigger.\n\nRun the job trigger and view results\n------------------------------------\n\nTo trigger a job immediately, do the following:\n\n1. On the **Trigger details** page, click **Run now**.\n\n This operation might take some time to complete.\n2. After the job that you created runs once, do the following:\n\n 1. In the **Triggered jobs** section, select the job ID of the triggered job\n in the **Job ID** column.\n\n 2. On the **Job details** page, view the job results.\n\nClean up\n--------\n\n\nTo avoid incurring charges to your Google Cloud account for\nthe resources used on this page, follow these steps.\n\n### Delete the project\n\n\nThe easiest way to eliminate billing is to delete the project that you\ncreated for the tutorial.\n\nTo delete the project:\n\n| **Caution** : Deleting a project has the following effects:\n|\n| - **Everything in the project is deleted.** If you used an existing project for the tasks in this document, when you delete it, you also delete any other work you've done in the project.\n| - **Custom project IDs are lost.** When you created this project, you might have created a custom project ID that you want to use in the future. To preserve the URLs that use the project ID, such as an `appspot.com` URL, delete selected resources inside the project instead of deleting the whole project.\n|\n|\n| If you plan to explore multiple architectures, tutorials, or quickstarts, reusing projects\n| can help you avoid exceeding project quota limits.\n1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the **Manage resources** page.\n\n [Go to Manage resources](https://console.cloud.google.com/iam-admin/projects)\n2. In the project list, select the project that you want to delete, and then click **Delete**.\n3. In the dialog, type the project ID, and then click **Shut down** to delete the project.\n\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\n### Delete the job trigger\n\nIf you created the job trigger in an existing project and you no longer need\nthe job trigger, follow these steps:\n\n1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Sensitive Data Protection page.\n\n [Go to Sensitive Data Protection](https://console.cloud.google.com/security/sensitive-data-protection;source=7)\n2. If necessary, select the project in which you created a job trigger from the\n Google Cloud console toolbar.\n\n3. Click the **Inspection** tab, and then click the **Job triggers** tab. The\n Google Cloud console displays a list of all the job triggers for the\n current project.\n\n4. In the **Actions** column for the job trigger you want to delete, click the\n trigger actions menu (more_vert),\n click **Delete** , and then click **Confirm**.\n\nWhat's next\n-----------\n\n- Learn more about [creating and scheduling Sensitive Data Protection inspection\n jobs](/sensitive-data-protection/docs/creating-job-triggers).\n\n- Learn more about [creating Sensitive Data Protection inspection\n templates](/sensitive-data-protection/docs/creating-templates-inspect).\n\n- To add actions you want Sensitive Data Protection to take after a trigger job\n completes, see [Add actions](/sensitive-data-protection/docs/creating-job-triggers#add-actions).\n\n- To specify the types of sensitive data you want to scan for, see [Configure\n detection](/sensitive-data-protection/docs/creating-job-triggers#configure-detection).\n\n- To create a BigQuery dataset in a project, see [Creating\n datasets](/bigquery/docs/datasets)."]]
