Adding Expressions Parent topic

  1. Navigate to Data Protection → Data Identifiers → Expressions.
    The Expressions screen appears.
  2. Click Add.
    A new screen appears.
  3. Type a name for the expression. The name must not exceed 100 bytes in length and cannot contain the following characters:
    > < * ^ | & ? \ /
  4. Type a description for the expression. The description must not exceed 256 bytes in length and cannot contain the following characters:
    > < * ^ | & ? \ /
  5. Choose one of the following criteria and configure additional settings for the chosen criteria:
    • None
    • Specific characters
    • Suffix
    • Single-character separator
    See Customized Expressions for details about the criteria and additional settings.
  6. Type the expression and specify whether it is case-sensitive.
  7. Type the displayed data. For example, if you are creating an expression for ID numbers, type a sample ID number. This data is used for reference purposes only and will not appear elsewhere in the product.
  8. Select a validator for the expression. See Predefined Expressions for details.
  9. Test the expression against an actual data. For example, if the expression is for a national ID, type a valid ID number in the Test data text box, click Test, and then check the result.
  10. Click Save if you are satisfied with the result.
    Note
    Note
    Save the settings only if the testing was successful. An expression that cannot identify any data wastes system resources and may impact performance.
