# Configure Data Collection for SAM

Configure Data Collection for SAM.

## Before you begin

You do not need to assign Group Types to configure Data Collection for SAM, but you do need to enter manual data points.

For the Manual Indicators, you must add a new data point every month. For example, given the fixed nature of the Impact VM - \# of material security breaches due to vulnerable SW indicator, you only need to enter this data point once.

**Important:** If you do not have full access to Performance/Platform Analytics through a Pro or Enterprise subscription, you are required to enter this data point every month

Role required: admin, pa\_power\_user, pa\_admin, or pa\_data\_collector

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **Performance/Platform Analytics** > **Scoresheet**, and then select **Impact VM - \# of material security breaches due to vulnerable SW**.

2.  Enter the data point in the relevant month cell.
