Data Masking Fields 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
titleUnsupported Data Type for Search

Searching, filtering, repairing and masking of UDRs with list and map data types are currently not supported by Data Veracity.

The Data Masking Fields web interface is where data masking rules could be viewed or removed. 

The example below shows the three fields, myStringField, subUDR.sub_date1 and subUDR.sub_long1 that have been masked for the UDR.

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.

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.

Info
titleExample selecting masked fields for the UDR Type

In this example, the MainUDR contains a the DRX_DV_Udr.dv_forw_udr.MainUDR contains a DRX_DV.dv_forw_udr.subUDR. 

  1. Select the DRX_DV_Udr.dv_forw_udr.MainUDR from the UDR Type drop-down field.
  2. 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_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 subUDR, the fields will not be masked. To mask the fields in subUDR, you are required to create a Data Mask entry by selecting the subUDR as the UDR Type. 

Primitive List / Map are not supported for masking, ie list of String.


...

Data masking rules can only be deleted from the Data Masking Fields web interface. Deleting a Data masking rule here will remove it completely masking rule from Data Veracity.

To delete a rule, you can select one or many rules at once and then click on the Delete button on the top right corner of the table.
