Overview
An entity type is what Dryv SkySync is detecting. Dryv SkySync comes with pre-installed entity types that cover a wide range of data, but you also have the option to create custom entity types. Entity types are assigned to a category that identifies the type of data being detected and a match type that identifies how the data is being detected. This page provides a high-level overview to help you understand entity types. To learn more about a specific match type, refer to the Help Center page for that specific match type.

Categories identify the type of data being detected. Dryv SkySync comes with the five default categories listed below. You can also create custom categories if one of the default categories doesn’t capture what your entity type will be identifying. (See Managing Categories for information about creating and managing custom categories.)

Match type is how the data is being detected. Dryv SkySync supports four match type methods.
Match Type | Description | |

| 2 | A block list allows matching on a given list of terms within a piece of content. | |
| 3 | This is a custom classification model that is plugged into the system. Dryv SkySync has four pre-installed classification entity types:
| |
| 4 | Transformation | A transformation entity type allows for applying a custom metadata expression against any prior matches to generate new value. This option is available only through the Dryv SkySync Data Governance and Classification API. |
