Related terms
- Activator
Rather than just displaying data as a dashboard does, this Real-Time Intelligence tool in Microsoft Fabric reacts to it. You define rules without writing code, and once a pattern or condition is spotted it can send an email or Teams message, or start a Power Automate flow or Fabric pipeline.
- AGDLP
Nesting pattern: users go into global groups, which go into domain local groups, which receive the permissions. AGUDLP adds universal groups for forests with several domains.
- Binary collation
A collation that orders and compares text by code point or bit pattern instead of by language rules.
BIN2compares code points fully, the olderBINonly partially, and both treat case and accents as significant. - Branch protection rule
Older GitHub mechanism protecting a named branch or pattern by requiring status checks, reviews and other conditions before merging; rulesets now offer a newer approach.
- Character proximity
Sets how near, measured in characters, corroborating evidence must sit to the main element before a sensitive information type pattern counts as matched. It can instead allow that evidence anywhere in the document.
- Cross-repo branch policies
Policies set once for All Repositories in project settings, covering every repository's default branch or any current or future branch matching a pattern.
- Exact data match
A custom kind of sensitive information type that looks up the real values held in a table your organisation supplies, such as a customer list, rather than matching a generic pattern. Data loss prevention can then flag only those precise records.
- Few-shot learning
Putting sample inputs with their outputs into a prompt to demonstrate the pattern and format wanted, without altering model weights; zero-shot prompting gives no samples.
