This article refers to the old PDF builder. Although it is still supported, we recommend trying out the new PDF builder for a better experience.

If you are completing documents that have sensitive data, you may want to hide this data from the agent. This feature enables the agent to send, preview, and download a completed document that blacks out all sensitive information.

Outline

Here is an outline of the steps for masking sensitive data in a document:

  1. Enable masking sensitive data in System Settings
  2. Create sensitive attributes
  3.  Bind sensitive attributes to document fields
  4. Configure document settings to mask sensitive data

These steps are detailed in the sections below.
