Identifies the format for Global Device Advertising Identifiers (i.e. iDFA, GAID, Roku ID) used in the digital advertising ecosystem.

Stage is a Recognizer for Saga Solution, and can also be used as part of a manual pipeline or a base pipeline


Supported formats composed of 32 hex numbers, generally presented as 8-4-4-4-12:

  • MAID = Microsoft Advertising ID
  • GAID = Google Android ID (all lowercase)
  • RIDA = Roku ID for Advertising (same format as GAID)
  • IDFA is the Apple iOS version (all uppercase)

Generic Configuration Parameters

  • boundaryFlags ( type=string array | optional ) - List of vertex flags that indicate the beginning and end of a text block.
    Tokens to process must be inside two vertices marked with this flag (e.g ["TEXT_BLOCK_SPLIT"])
  • skipFlags ( type=string array | optional ) - Flags to be skipped by this stage.
    Tokens marked with this flag will be ignored by this stage, and no processing will be performed.
  • requiredFlags ( type=string array | optional ) - Lex items flags required by every token to be processed.
    Tokens need to have all of the specified flags in order to be processed.
  • atLeastOneFlag ( type=string array | optional ) - Lex items flags needed by every token to be processed.
    Tokens will need at least one of the flags specified in this array.
  • confidenceAdjustment ( type=double | default=1 | required ) - Adjustment factor to apply to the confidence value of 0.0 to 2.0 from (Applies for every pattern match).
    • 0.0 to < 1.0  decreases confidence value
    • 1.0 confidence value remains the same
    • > 1.0 to  2.0 increases confidence value
  • debug ( type=boolean | default=false | optional ) - Enable all debug log functionality for the stage, if any.
  • enable ( type=boolean | default=true | optional ) - Indicates if the current stage should be consider for the Pipeline Manager
    • Only applies for automatic pipeline building
