Entities catalog for a dataset

Information in the Catalog

The Catalog lists each instance of an entity value separately. For example, the given name John is detected twice in one file and 3 times in another file. The Catalog then contains 5 entries for John.

For each value instance, the Catalog includes:

  • The entity value.

  • How the value appears in the output, based on the selected handling option for the value's entity type.

  • The entity type.

  • A confidence score to indicate how confident Textual is that the value is correctly detected and identified.

  • The entity value instance in its immediate context.

  • The name of the file that contains the value instance.

Filtering the Catalog

Filtering by entity value

To filter the list by text in the entity value, in the search field, begin to type the text.

As you type, Textual filters the list to only include entity values that contain that text.

By default, the Catalog list includes all of the entity types. To filter the list to a specific entity type, click All types, then select the entity type. To remove the filter, select All types.

Filtering by file
