Data Encryption

Some private business data, such as cell phone number, email address, card number, etc., can be encrypted according to custom rules. After encryption, it is stored to the database in cipher text. When you view the data, it can be decrypted and displayed in plain text according to the rules.

Set Encryption Rule​

Super Admin needs to configure encryption rules first, and then users can select the encryption mode when editing form.

Select Encryption Rule​

Fields that can be encrypted: Text (single line), Telephone, Email, ID Number.

Check [Data Encryption] and select the encryption mode. The back-end storage format of the encrypted data is text.

Note: After setting, the newly saved field values are encrypted according to the new rules, and the history fields cannot be refreshed automatically. Instead, you need to refresh the history data manually. The history data can be viewed when it is not refreshed, but cannot be filtered. Refresh History Data Manually
