Once a Dictionary is created, you can specify one or more values for the Dictionary. Each value represents one piece of data that is redacted from the document (e.g., a name, a Social Security Number, a credit card number, etc.) when it undergoes Automated Redaction.
The following types of values can be added to a Dictionary:
-
Text String Values. Static text that appears on a document can be redacted. See Adding a Text String Value to a Dictionary.
-
Values Matching a Regular Expression. Data that matches the pattern specified by a regular expression (e.g., a Social Security Number, a phone number, etc.) can be redacted. See Adding a Regular Expression Value to a Dictionary.
-
Keywords. Keyword Values appearing on a document (e.g., names, account numbers, etc.) can be redacted. See Adding a Keyword Type to a Dictionary.
-
Text File Values. Multiple text string values stored in a text file can be redacted. These values can be either static or dynamic. See Adding a Text File to a Dictionary.
You can add as many values to a Dictionary as you want, and you can add as many different types of values as you want. For example, you could create a Dictionary with 25 values (10 text string values, eight values matching a regular expression, and seven Keyword Values).
You can create several Dictionaries consisting of only a few, related values and then apply them as needed to as many Document Types as you want. Dictionaries were purposefully designed this way to eliminate the need to duplicate configurations for each Document Type.
