Configuring the Override Show Decrypted Field in View Attribute

Users who have access to the appropriate security key can display encrypted fields within a view in a decrypted format so that exported view results can be viewed in plain text when necessary (See Show Decrypted Field Option for List Views for details). However, there are several cases where this behavior may not be desirable and a possible security risk. In these cases, an administrator can add the ShowDecryptedFieldOverrides attribute to change the default show/hide behavior of encrypted fields within an entity.

• Note that it is not necessary to add the ShowDecryptedFieldOverrides unless you are changing the default behavior of an encrypted field. Default behavior is as follows:
• Fields of Extended Type Password and credit card number fields (CCAccountNumber) are disabled by default.
• All other encrypted fields are enabled by default.

Follow these steps to configure the Override Show Decrypt Fields attribute for an entity:

1. Open the entity from the Entities service.
2. Click the Configuration tab.
3. Click the Attributes sub-tab.
4. Open a new Entity Attributes sub-type record.
   • Click the New Record... button, or right-click in the gray area and select New from the pop-up menu.
      
5. Enter ShowDecryptedFieldOverrides in the Name field.
6. Enter the field and the appropriate behavior in the Value field as follows:
   • EncryptedField(Show): Enter the name of the Encrypted field and Show in paratheses if you want to enable the Show Decrypted option for this field within a view.
   • EncryptedField(Hide): Enter the name of the Encrypted field and Hide in paratheses if you want to disable the Show Decrypted option for this field within a view.
      
7. Using a pipe-delimited list, add additional fields and the appropriate show/hide behavior as necessary.
