You can use id_types to list the type of identifiers used in an ID stitcher. You can also use this parameter for creating entity_var and input_var. The data type of these identifiers must be string.

yaml

id_types:
    - name: id_type_name
      filters:
          - type: include/exclude
            value: "value"
          - type: include/exclude
            regex: "regex expression"

Field	Description
`name` Required	Name of the ID type.
`filters`	Filter(s) the ID types to include/exclude specific values. The filters are processed in the listed order.
`type`	Filter type - accepted values are `include` or `exclude`.
