Data Veracity - Selecting UDR Types

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.

Note
titleNote!

When selecting fields for one UDR Type, the masking will only apply to the field within that selected UDR Type.

As an example, we have MainUDR and inside this UDR structure is subUDR. From the UDR Type, you have selected MainUDR and the Masked Fields, you have selected the field named myStringField from the parent UDR and sub_date1 and sub_long in subUDR. When you perform a Data Veracity Search using MainUDR, you will find the field properly masked. However, should you search using subUDR instead, the field will not be masked. You will have to create a Data Mask entry with UDR Type set to subUDR with the field also selected to be able to mask the field in both scenarios.
