Types of entities

There are 3 different types of entities in the system:

• Synonyms: This is the most common type of entities. For each of the main values that the parameter can have, we can detail a list of synonyms that correspond to it, in this way when any of the values declared as synonyms is detected, the main value will be sent.

• List: This is the simplest type of entities, it allows you to define a list of main values, but it does not allow you to add synonyms for each one.

• Regular expressions: It is the most complex type of entities that can be created, it allows you to define a list of regular expressions whose function is to detect text fragments that comply with an established format, for example: telephone numbers, ID numbers, account numbers.
