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.

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.

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.
