Overview

A block list is a set of keywords you want to find in content. This match type provides 100% accuracy because the content will be compared against the list and will only be added to the match list if one of the terms is found in the content.

Entity Type Details

Selecting to edit the Entity type details allows you to enter a description for the entity type you are creating. Separate from the name used to search for the entity type in the application, the description helps your users understand what the entity type aims to accomplish with the list you are using. The description is limited to 256 characters.

Category

Editing the Entity type details also lets you change the category assigned to the entity type. The category identifies the type of data being detected. The Category list includes the five default categories (Financial, General, Privacy, Regulation, and Technology) that come added in the application, as well as any custom categories you have created. Preinstalled entity types will be assigned to their corresponding categories. All custom entity types default to “General,” so you will need to edit the category if a specific category needs to be used for an entity type. (See Managing Categories for information about creating and managing custom categories.)

Defined List

The defined list is the list of keywords you want to find in the scanned content. Keywords can be added manually to the Keywords field or imported from a CSV file. When manually adding keywords, you can enter the terms as comma-separated values, or you can add each keyword on a new line.
