Reviewing the sensitivity detection results

Required dataset permission: View dataset settings

The dataset details page provides information about the results of the sensitivity detection, including the overall results, the results per file, and the results per entity type.

Viewing the summary results for the dataset

At the top of the dataset details page are the summary results for the dataset, including:

Summary results for a dataset
  • The number of detected entities

  • The percentage of dataset content that is sensitive

  • The number of entity types for which there are detected entities

  • The number of files in the dataset

  • The total number of words in the dataset files

Viewing the count of entities per file

For each dataset file, the Dataset files page displays:

Word and value counts for dataset files
  • The total number of words in the file.

  • The number of detected entity values in the file.

Viewing the list of entity types

The Entity settngs page displays the list of active entity types for the dataset set. This includes:

  • All of the built-in entity types

  • Any custom entity types that are active for the dataset

Information in the entity types list

For each entity type, the list includes:

  • The name of the entity type.

  • The number of detected values for that type in the dataset files.

  • The selected handling option.

Filtering the entity types list

You can filter the entity types list by:

  • Text in the type name or description.

  • Whether the entity type is built-in or custom.

  • Whether there are detected entities for the entity type.

  • The handling option for the entity type

To filter by name or description, in the search field, begin to type text in the name or description. As you type, Textual filters the list to only include matching entity types.

Filtering the entity types list by name

To apply other filters, click Filter options, then select the filters to apply.

Previewing the detected values for an entity type

For each detected entity type, to view a sample of up to 10 of the detected values , click the value count.

Displaying the full list of detected values for an entity type

The entities list contains the full list of detected values for an entity type.

To display the entities list, from the value preview, click Open Entities Manager.

Selecting the entity type

When you display the entities list, the entity type that you previewed the values for is selected by default.

To change the selected entity type, from the dropdown at the top left, select the entity type to view values for.

How Textual handles entity values that match multiple types

A detected value might match multiple entity types.

For example, a telephone number might match both the Phone Number and Numeric Value entity types.

Every value is only counted once, for the entity type that it is assigned in the output file.

By default, a detected value is assigned the entity type that it most closely matches. For our example, the telephone number value most closely matches the Phone Number entity type, and so by default is included in the Phone Number count and values list.

If the entity type is turned off, or the value is excluded, then Textual moves the value to the next matching type.

In our example, if you set the handling type for Phone Number to Off, then the telephone number value is added to the count and values list for the Numeric Value entity type.

Information in the entities list

The entities list groups the entities by the file and, if relevant, the page where they were detected.

For each value, the list includes:

  • The original value.

  • The original value in the context of its surrounding text.

  • The redacted or synthesized value in the context of its surrounding text, based on the selected handling option.
