Protect sensitive data and adhere to your organization's security efforts to mask Personally Identifiable Information (PII) by creating custom security rules.

3. In the Add Security Rule window, enter a name for the security rule.

   This name appears on the Client Configuration page.

   Note: To replace a single character, enter a question mark (?). To replace multiple characters, enter an asterisk (*).
