Redaction mask mode

Use this setting to control how BDA masks detected PII entities in redacted output files.

Set the value to PII to replace all detected entities with a generic [PII] marker. Set the value to ENTITY_TYPE to replace each entity with its specific type marker, such as [NAME], [EMAIL], or [ADDRESS].

This setting applies only when you set detectionMode to DETECTION_AND_REDACTION. If you do not specify a value, BDA defaults to ENTITY_TYPE.
