Reference documentation and code samples for the Google Cloud Data Loss Prevention v2 API class CustomInfoType.Types.DetectionRule.Types.Proximity.
Message for specifying a window around a finding to apply a detection
rule.
Number of characters before the finding to consider. For tabular data,
if you want to modify the likelihood of an entire column of findngs,
set this to 1. For more information, see
Hotword example: Set the match likelihood of a table column.
