Representative Anonymization

Information about representatives as well as the actions performed during support sessions can be made anonymous to meet privacy regulations and compliance standards.

To anonymize data, select a representative and then click Search Representative Activity. The system returns a list of the information found for the representative along with a randomly generated, proposed replacement term for the information. You can also choose to Add Custom. This allows you to enter and to search for customized information, such as account numbers.

To modify the replacement text, click the Edit button. Within the Edit Replacement prompt, set the desired Replacement. Choose to Edit in All History or Edit in Only This Session.

The list updates with the new replacement term and displays, "All support sessions, presentation sessions, team activity, and Vault account activity events for this representative will be marked as anonymized at: (date and time)." After reviewing the replacement terms and timestamp, click Delete User and Anonymize to begin the anonymizing process for the entire software. Before starting the anonymization process, you must enter your display name to confirm that you want to perform this action.

 

All session recordings are deleted as a part of the anonymization request.

Status

Review information about anonymization jobs, including, found terms, replacement terms, the type of data being anonymized, and the status of the job.

The job status is automatically refreshed every 15 seconds, and the status for completed requests remains available for 24 hours.

This status information is also available in the Support Session Detail and Presentation Detail reports.

For environments where failover or Atlas is configured, the anonymization of data is not complete until synchronization across all nodes or backup B Series Appliances has occurred.
