Named Entity Recognition Server 25.4
Named Entity Recognition Server Reference

# RedactionType

The method to use for replacing text when you use redaction. You can use one of the following options:

- `Normalize`. Replace a match with the normalized form of the text. For example, you could replace a match ten to nine twenty third of June with the normalized version 8:50 23rd of June.
- `Replace`. Replace a match with a censored string or replacement character.
- `Entity`. Replace the match with the name of the matching entity.

NOTE: If you set AllowOverlaps to `True`, you cannot set `RedactionType` to `Normalize`, because Named Entity Recognition Server cannot normalize overlapping phrases.

NOTE: You can override the value of this parameter for specific actions by setting the RedactionType action parameter.

Type: | String
Default: | `Replace`
Required: | No
