Description

Test Masking Template icon

The Test Masking Template icon is greyed out till you input any sample data under Masking Details.

Masking Details

Here are the mandatory fields under Masking Details that you are required to fill to enable the Test Masking Template icon:

  • Approach:

    • AI Based: Enable the AI Based toggle to involve the use of artificial intelligence to automatically identify and obscure sensitive information within user-generated content.

    • Regex Based: Enable the Regex Based toggle to identify and obscure sensitive information by matching specific patterns in text.

  • Masking Character: A Masking Character refers to the symbol or character used to replace sensitive portions of data to ensure that personal information is protected while retaining the overall structure of the data. For example, if an email address johndoe@example.com is masked using a masking character *, it might appear as ****doe@**********.

Enter Sample Text

Input the text in the Enter Sample Text box and click on Run Test. After running the test the output is displayed under the Results section. The Results section displays how the text ​appears when masked, and whether masking was done using a Regex pattern, or by using any AI entity. For example the text, "My Bank Account Number is 7288-1818," ​displays the output as My Bank Account Number is ****-****. In case Masking is done using multiple AI entities a navigation bar appears.
