Data Veracity - Data Masking view allows users create a data masking rule to prevent the data of certain fields from being seen by other users when they search for the Data Veracity UDRs on the web interface. Fields that have been masked will display data in asterisk form rather than the original data itself.
| Note |
|---|
Unsupported Data Type for SearchSearching, filtering, repairing and masking masking of UDRs with list and map data types are currently not supported by Data Veracity. |
The Data Veracity - Data Masking Fields web interface view is where data masking rules could be viewed or removed.

Data Masking Fields Sort Order Sorting by UDR column is based on Java’s default sorting behavior for Strings(for example, sorting of alphabetical characters in Java is case sensitive). |
The example below shows the three fields, myStringField, subUDR.sub_date1 and subUDR.sub_long1 that have been masked for the UDR.

Fields | Description |

UDR Type | Allows you to choose from a list of UDRs that are configured in your Data Veracity profile. From the example below, we have multiple UDR Types, namely MainUDR, anotherUDR, MySubUDR and SecondNested. |
 | |
Masked Fields | Upon selecting a UDR Type, the Masked Fields will be populated with all the UDR fields that are in the UDR type. You can choose to add a single field, multiple fields or even all the fields available in the UDR by clicking from the dropdown list. You will also be able to select the fields within any nested UDRs that are available in the chosen UDR Type. |
Refer to Note!When selecting fields for one UDR Type, the masking will only apply to the field within that selected UDR Type |

In this example, the DRX_DV_Udr.dv_forw_udr.MainUDR contains a DRX_DV.dv_forw_udr.subUDR.
subUDR.sub_long1 fields from the RX_DV.dv_forw_udr.subUDR. |
Example selected fields for masking
When performing a Data Veracity Search using MainUDR , you will find the fields to be properly masked. However, if you search using the Primitive List |
or Map are not supported for masking, |
such as a list of String. |
Once you have added all required fields for data masking, click on the Save button. An entry will appear on the Mask Field(s) dashboard.

Note!
Only one Data Masking rule can be created per UDR type at any one time.
Example - Selecting Masked Fields for the UDR Type
In this example, the DRX_DV_Udr.dv_forw_udr.MainUDR contains a DRX_DV.dv_forw_udr.subUDR.
Select the DRX_DV_Udr.dv_forw_udr.MainUDR from the UDR Type drop-down field.
Click Add to select the fields for masking. The following shows that the myStringField is selected for the DRX_DV_Udr.dv_forw_udr.MainUDR and the subUDR.sub_date1 and
subUDR.sub_long1fields from the RX_DV.dv_forw_udr.subUDR.
