Configuring the private data feature
Pega Sales Automation includes a private data feature for storing sensitive data for contacts, such as social security numbers, income, or personal phone numbers and email addresses. Private data is visible only to the partner who enters the data.
A partner enters private data for a contact in the Private data section of the Details tab. The partner selects the category of private data that they want to add (for example, an unlisted phone number), and then they enter a value for that category.
This feature is available for non-captive agents so that Pega Sales Automation can be a single source for customer and prospect data, while providing assurance that the data is private and that it can be extracted and purged from the application when required.
Activating the private data feature
Activate the private data feature so that you can use the Private data categories tool to configure private data categories. The tool is hidden if the feature is not enabled.
- In the User portal Explorer panel, go to Administration.

- Click on Save.
