- For Threshold, add the number of instances of this identifier you would like matched in a document before it is activated.
A threshold of 10, for example, only monitors or blocks a file if 10 instances of the identifier are found in the file.

- For Proximity, add proximity keywords to match against the pattern. The keywords need to be found within 10 terms of the original pattern.

Then click Add.
