After you create a filter rule, you can refine its criteria and change other settings for the rule. A filter rule is a set of filter criteria that you create and save to use again when you review findings on the Amazon Macie console. Filter rules can help you perform repeated, consistent analysis of findings that have specific characteristics. Each rule consists of a set of filter criteria, a name, and, optionally, a description.
In addition to changing the filter criteria or other settings for a rule, you can assign tags to a rule. A tag is a label that you define and assign to certain types of AWS resources. Each tag consists of a required tag key and an optional tag value. Tags can help you identify, categorize, and manage resources in different ways, such as by purpose, owner, environment, or other criteria. To learn more, see Tagging Macie resources.
