Overview

An entity type is what SkySync DryvIQ is detecting. SkySync The DryvIQ Platform comes with pre-installed preinstalled 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. Entity types fall into five categories.DryvIQ comes with the 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.)
