Exact Data Match with No Primary Keys
You can now configure DLP Exact Data Match (EDM) policies to use templates, dictionaries, and engines created with no primary keys. Previously, EDM required that you specify one or two primary fields within a template which could be selected when creating a dictionary. EDM with no primary keys allows you to specify all fields from your template as mandatory or optional to match.
Before enabling EDM with No Primary Keys, all existing EDM schema (templates, dictionaries, engines, and policies) must be deleted or unassigned. New schema with No Primary Keys functionality can be created after the feature is enabled.
As part of this change:
- A new option, EDM with No Primary Keys, is added to the DLP Advanced Setting page (Administration > DLP Advanced Settings).
- Alternate settings for creating an EDM dictionary (if the No Primary Keys option is enabled) are added.
To learn more, see Configuring EDM with No Primary Keys.
