'Mask’ a field

• We have Introduced a new field-level property to mask data.

• It can be applied to all the controls except for Label, Video, Action item, Related Data, and Embedded Image.

• Once masking is turned on for a particular field, then data will be masked, and control will be displayed as '**********'.

• Unmask Access: A new access configuration, 'Unmask,' has been added. Users with 'Unmask' access privilege can view the actual data behind the masked control(s).

• Configuration Restrictions: Masked fields cannot be configured in the following areas:

  • List & Summary Views

  • Action Conditions, Notification Conditions & Set Actions

  • Formula Builder and Default Values

• Existing App Data Masking: Data masking can also be enabled for fields in an existing App, once enabled data masking will be applied to all existing records within the app for the respective fields. Data masking cannot be enabled for fields in an existing App if the fields are already used in any of the areas mentioned in the above configuration restrictions.
