When creating an Exact Data Match (EDM) template, you must choose an EDM type for each field provided. The EDM types are similar to the Built-in Data Identifiers in that specific patterns must be found to match the identifier. Unlike Built-In Identifiers, EDM types do not use keywords to find data matches.
