Masking Field Values on the MIDM

You can specify that the values of certain fields be hidden on the MIDM from users without the appropriate access permissions. You can create a custom plug-in that uses the value of the VIP Flag field to determine whether the values of specified fields are hidden (typically in records with a VIP status of “VIP” or “Employee”). In records with any other VIP status, the field values would be visible regardless of whether the field is marked for masking.

This option is only available if the object-sensitive-plug-in-class element in the impl-details section is populated with the custom plug-in class (by default, this element is empty).

To mask field values, you need to define a custom plug-in to implement the masking rules.

To Mask Field Values on the MIDM

1. In the Projects window, expand the Configuration node in the project you want to modify, and then double-click midm.xml.

   The file opens in the NetBeans XML editor.

2. Scroll to the node element that defines the object containing the field you want to modify.

3. Scroll to the field element you want to modify.

4. Change the value of the is-sensitive element to true.

   If the element does not exist for the field, create a new is-sensitive element. For example:

   <is-sensitive>true</is-sensitive>

   ---

   Note –

   The is-sensitive element must appear before the key-type element in the field definition.

5. Save and close the file.
