Selecting the handling option for the entity types

For each entity type, you choose how to handle the detected values.
The available options are:
Synthesis - Indicates to replace the value with another realistic value. For example, the first name value Michael might be replaced with the value John. Textual does not synthesize any excluded values.
Redaction - This is the default option. For text files, Redaction indicates to tokenize the value - to replace it with a token that identifies the entity type. For example, the first name value Michael is replaced with the value NAME_GIVEN. For PDF files and image files, Redaction indicates to cover the value with a black box. Textual does not redact any excluded values.
Off - Indicates to not make any changes to the values. For example, the first name value Michael remains Michael.
To select the handling option for an individual entity type, click the option for that type.
For a dataset, to select the same handling option for all of the entity types, from the Bulk Edit dropdown above the data type list, select the option.
For a pipeline that generates synthesized files, on the Generator Config tab, use the Bulk Edit options at the top of the entity types list.
